The future of Lachlan Galvin at the Wests Tigers is uncertain as the club considers granting him an early release from the final year of his contract.
Reports from zerotackle.com indicate that the Tigers are weighing their options after Galvin, a promising player marked as a potential Kangaroos and NSW Blues star, announced he would depart the club at the end of next season.
His decision stems from a desire for personal growth under a different NRL coach.
Galvin's talent has garnered attention, with former players Andrew Johns and Phil Gould praising his skill set.
Over the past 18 months, he has established himself as a standout performer, having made his debut in Round 1 last season, and some are even calling him "The Best Young Player" in the NRL.
Despite this acclaim, he turned down a lucrative five-year contract extension worth approximately $6 million to stay with the Tigers beyond 2026.
Now, with discussions ongoing about his possible early exit, the Wests Tigers board is scheduled to convene on Monday to make a final decision regarding Galvin's situation.
This meeting could determine if he will leave the team after the end of his current contract in 2025.
