In a move that has fans cheering like a winning try, the St George Illawarra Dragons have locked in young outside back Mathew Feagai for a further two years.
Rumors had been swirling that Mathew and his brother Max Feagai would be leaving the club at the end of the 2024 NRL season, but recent first-grade appearances and impressive performances have secured Mathew's spot on the team.
With injuries opening up opportunities and Zac Lomax's State of Origin call-up, Mathew has seized his chance to shine and has quickly become a standout player on the field.
Averaging an impressive 126 metres per game and bagging three tries already this campaign, Mathew's tenacity and skill have not gone unnoticed.
The Dragons have faced some departures, with Zac Lomax heading to the Parramatta Eels and young gun Savelio Tamale joining the Canberra Raiders.
In light of these changes, securing Mathew Feagai's talents for the next two seasons until the end of 2026 is a strategic move that has coach Shane Flanagan beaming with pride.
This signing is a testament to the Dragons' commitment to nurturing young talent and building a strong squad for future success.
With Mathew Feagai on board, the Dragons are poised to take on their rivals with determination and grit.
