Gold Coast Titans centre Brian Kelly has signed a new deal that will see him remain at the club until the end of 2023.

The 24-year-old has scored 14 tries in 39 appearances for the Titans since 2019.

Titans coach Justin Holbrook said: “I think it is fantastic news for our club that Brian Kelly is going to continue his career here.

“It’s great having a young player that grew up in Northern New South Wales, in Ballina.

“It means a lot to him to stay at this club and it means a lot to us to keep him here.

“He’s shown in particular last season what a strike centre he is, one of the best in the competition, and I think it is just awesome for myself that BK is staying here and it is great news for all of our fans.”

Kelly said: “I think Justin and my relationship is building and he just wants the best for me.

“I get along with him really well and having the new (high performance) staff there as well, I believe they are going to get the best out of me and I can’t wait (for 2021).”
