The St George Illawarra Dragons have officially confirmed the long-term re-signing of Dylan Egan.
This promising talent, currently recovering from an ACL injury, is expected to return to the field in just over a month.
With the new deal, Egan extends his stay at his local club by an additional two years.
Now signed until the end of 2029, the second-rower had already been committed through 2027.
The Dragons boast one of the strongest young forward groups in the game, showing promise for future success.
Players like Hamish Stewart, the Couchman brothers, Loko Pasifiki Tonga, and Jacob Halangahu are poised to make significant impacts in the first grade.
Egan shared that playing alongside these talented teammates influenced his decision to re-sign.
"I was over the moon to be able to secure my future with the club that I grew up supporting… it means the world," Egan expressed.
"Obviously, growing up with Hamish Stewart and Hayden Buchanan down at Gerringong, and coming through the grades with the Couchmans and a lot of the other boys, it's very motivating for us to try to get the club back to that form that I was watching when I was six years old on the hill."
"We were watching the Dragons in 2010 win the Grand Final, and I know not just me, but a lot of the other lads are very motivated to bring this great club back to where we reckon they belong."
Despite a challenging start to the current season, Egan showcased exceptional performance in 2025, and at just 21 years old, he is anticipated to rejoin the game day squad as soon as he's healthy, adding to his eight NRL games played so far.
