The Manly Sea Eagles have officially re-signed outside back Clayton Faulalo, securing him on a two-year contract extension. This deal ensures that Faulalo will remain with the team until at least the end of 2027.
Initially slated to be off-contract at the conclusion of this season, Faulalo was eligible to negotiate with other teams since November 1 of the previous year. However, he has chosen to stay with Manly.
In his first year as part of the Top 30 playing roster, Faulalo has been close to breaking into the first-grade side, often just one injury away from being called up, whether for a starting position or as a bench player.
To date, he has played 11 NRL games, including seven this season alone, after having an impressive run as the leading try-scorer in the NSW Cup for 2023.
Coach Anthony Seibold highlighted Faulalo's strong work ethic and adaptability, noting, "Clayton is a bit of a late developer at 25, but he's now played a number of games with us in the top grade."
