Corey Thompson signs new deal with Gold Coast Titans

Former Widnes winger Corey Thompson has signed a new deal that will see him stay at Gold Coast Titans until at least the end of 2023.

The 31-year-old has scored 86 tries in 157 appearances for Canterbury Bulldogs, Widnes, Wests Tigers and the Titans.

Titans coach Justin Holbrook said: “I think the way Corey started the year, it was no coincidence that we were playing a lot better when he was in our side.

“The energy that he plays with is infectious for our team and we’ve really missed him while he has been our injured.

“This is great news for us to keep him at our club.

“I think he is in the best form of his career and that’s because of the great environment we’ve got him in here and I’m looking forward to him continuing to play for us.”

Thompson will make his 100th NRL appearance on Saturday when the Titans face Canberra Raiders.
