The Warriors have hit the jackpot once again, with Jackson Ford locking in his future with the club in a new deal that will see him don the jersey until at least the end of the 2027 season.

The signing spree continues for the Warriors, with Ford following in the footsteps of try-scoring sensation Dallin Watene-Zelezniak, who recently penned a two-year extension.

Ford, who faced a tough grind at the Dragons in his early NRL years, has found his stride at the Warriors, racking up an impressive 43 games in just two seasons.

A knee injury may have cut short his 2024 campaign, but his resilience and determination have not gone unnoticed.

"Jackson has been a real game-changer for us since his arrival," said Warriors general manager Andrew McFadden, praising Ford's work ethic and versatility on the field.

"He's proven himself as a reliable back rower over the past two seasons, and his shift to the front row has only added to his impact."

Starting out as a Gerringong Lions junior, Ford's transition from the edge to the middle of the field has been seamless, showcasing his adaptability and commitment to the team's success.

With players like Ford on board, the Warriors are building a solid foundation for the seasons to come.
