The Cronulla Sharks have secured the future of their star halfback with a long-term contract extension, as they continue to build for success.
Riley Pollard, a rising talent who was recently named as halfback for the 2023 Australian Schoolboys team, has impressed with his skills on the field.
Hailing from the Penrith Panthers, Pollard has made a smooth transition to the Sharks and is poised to make his NRL debut in the coming season.
Having already made a mark in the SG Ball Cup at the start of the year, Pollard has established himself as a key playmaker for the Sharks' Jersey Flegg Cup team.
With a playing style that mirrors the likes of Nicho Hynes and Braydon Trindall, Pollard's future looks bright in the Cronulla setup.
With this upgraded contract, Pollard's journey from the development list to the Top 30 roster for the 2027 NRL season is set in stone.
The Sharks are betting on Pollard to be a linchpin in their side for years to come, as they aim for glory on the field.
