Former rugby league forward Adam Elliott, who has played for teams including the Newcastle Knights, Canberra Raiders, and Canterbury Bulldogs, is eager to finalize a new contract by the year's end.
During an appearance on SEN Radio, Elliott shared that while he had no major updates to announce, there is ongoing activity among various clubs, and he is keen to resolve his contract situation swiftly.
"Not really. There probably isn't enough for me to break, I don't think at the moment, but we are definitely working hard," Elliott remarked.
He has been actively communicating with his manager and is awaiting further updates regarding potential opportunities. "I've been on the phone to my manager earlier and on the weekend, and I'm waiting to get a call from him to hopefully get a little bit of information about some movement."
Elliott expressed a desire to have everything arranged sooner rather than later, stating, "Ideally, I would have loved to have had it all sorted by now, but we are in agreement that we want to put the foot down now and get it done before Day 1 of 2026 because I want to hit the ground running."
In the meantime, Elliott has focused on maintaining his fitness through rigorous training, while also balancing his role as a stay-at-home dad. "I've been trying to stay fit, training hard, but I've also been playing a fair bit of stay-at-home dad."
He is enthusiastic about the upcoming pre-season and looks forward to donning a new team's colors. "I'm pretty keen to get back and get into pre-season, and I'm going to be in new colours wherever I land, so looking forward to getting that sorted in the next few weeks and hitting the ground running."
