Panthers premiership winner Paul Alamoti will be remaining with the defending champions for many more years to come after signing a contract extension with the club.

Already contracted with the Panthers for next season, Alamoti has extended his deal until the end of the 2027 NRL season.

The 20-year-old outside back made his first grade debut with the Bulldogs in 2023 and has played 35 NRL games across two seasons.

Since joining the Panthers at the start of 2024, Alamoti scored eight tries and kicked 18 goals in 16 matches, playing a key role in the Panthers’ premiership success, including scoring the match-sealing try in the Grand Final win over the Storm.

Following an impressive season, Alamoti made his Test debut for Tonga last Friday night against Australia at Suncorp Stadium.

The Milperra Colts junior was selected in the Australian Schoolboys merit team in 2019 and represented NSW in the U19s State of Origin in 2022.

“We’re pleased to have Paul commit to Panthers until the end of 2027,” Panthers General Manager of Football, Shane Elford said.

“Paul is an exceptionally talented and respectful young man, both on and off the field.

“He has taken every opportunity presented to him, and we are excited to see what the future holds for him with the Panthers.”
