Cronulla forward Toby Rudolf signs new deal

Cronulla forward Toby Rudolf has signed a contract extension with the Sharks for the 2021 campaign.

The 24-year-old joined the Sharks in 2019 and has made 16 appearances for the club so far.

Rudolf said: “I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my rookie season as a Shark, I’m enjoying my time here and with this contract extension I’m looking to build on what I’ve achieved so far this year.

“We have a very strong playing group which I’m pleased to be a part of, and I’m keen to finish this year on a high note, to take my form into next season and to hopefully continue my improvement and development under John Morris and the coaching staff here at the Sharks.”

Sharks coach John Morris said: “Toby’s signing is amazing news for the club and no doubt will be very well received by our members and fans.

“It was always a priority of mine to retain Toby and he has shown with his impressive performances in his first year in the NRL how valuable a player he is.

“Toby has not only shone with his performances on the field but he is of outstanding character off it, a great team player who works very hard on his game and is very coachable.

“His re-signing, along with the other youth we have extended and re-signed this year is an example of the exciting future we are continuing to build at the club.”
