The Canterbury Bulldogs have secured the futures of two promising young talents, Alekolasimi Jones and Cassius Tia, by extending their contracts until the end of the 2026 season.
In an official statement released last week, the club confirmed the extensions for both players, emphasizing their importance to the team.
Cassius Tia, a standout playmaker, has been a key player in the NSW Cup this season, building on his success from the Bulldogs' 2024 Jersey Flegg Cup title victory.
Previously part of the Sydney Roosters pathways system, Tia has primarily played in the centres but is expected to transition into roles such as five-eighth or halfback in the top grade, as revealed by GM of Football Phil Gould.
This adaptability and talent have caught the attention of Bulldogs officials, highlighting Tia's growing reputation within the club.
Overall, the Bulldogs remain committed to nurturing their young talent, showcasing a strong focus on future development.
