The Wests Tigers have made a significant investment in their star rookie Jahream Bula, as he is set to receive a substantial payrise.
According to news.com.au, this news will come as a relief to the Tigers' members and fans who have been longing for positive developments.
Bula, a young and talented fullback, has agreed to a new four-year extension, marking it as one of the most important signings in the club's recent history.
Despite starting the season on a development contract valued at $60,000, Bula will now finish the season with a staggering $2.7 million deal over four years.
This massive upgrade demonstrates the confidence that new coach Benji Marshall has in Bula's potential.
The Tigers' disappointing season, which saw them collect back-to-back wooden spoons, had few bright spots, but Bula's emergence was one of them.
With this new contract, Bula will be a key asset for the Tigers until the end of 2027.
