NRL 2024, NRL Signings Tracker, contracts, signings news, player transfers, top 30 for all 17 clubs in the NRL Telstra Premiership

Warriors centre Ali Leiataua has inked a two-year contract extension through to the end of the 2027 season.

The 21-year-old made his NRL debut in 2023 and has now played seven games in the top grade, crossing for three tries.

“Ali is a great example of a young player who has come through our pathways programme,” said Warriors general manager recruitment, pathways and development Andrew McFadden.   

“He had a taste of first-grade football last year and furthered his experience this season. We see him as a key player in our future.”

Meanwhile, Fijian international Marcelo Montoya will return to Belmore after signing a two-year deal with the Bulldogs.  

The 28-year-old rejoins his junior club following four seasons in New Zealand, where he scored 30 tries in 82 appearances for the Warriors.  

Montoya played for Canterbury from Harold Matthews Cup through to the National Youth Competition, before making his NRL debut in 2017.

“It’s always pleasing to bring a local junior back home.” Bulldogs GM of Football Phil Gould said.

“Marcelo is very passionate in the way he conducts himself both on and off the field. His versatility in the backline and his experience will certainly complement our squad as he enters this next chapter of his career at the Bulldogs.” 

Samoa international Jazz Tevaga is set to bring plenty of experience and added toughness to the Manly pack after signing a one-year deal.

The 29-year-old, who will join the Sea Eagles after Samoa’s tour to England, has played 138 NRL games for the Warriors from 2016-2024.

“Jazz has played in finals and has had a lot of experience over there in New Zealand. He has also represented Samoa,’’ said Manly coach Anthony Seibold.

“He brings that grit and toughness to what we have already got here. We feel like he will be a good addition to our group.”

Wests Tigers have announced the signing of boom young centre, Heamasi Makasini, on a three-year deal.

A Campbelltown City Kangaroos junior, Makasini has been a standout player for Wests Magpies Harold Matthews team over the past two years and has been keenly pursued by rival NRL clubs, Rugby Australia, and clubs overseas.

The 17-year-old Newington College student was named Harold Matthews Cup player of the year in 2024, scoring 92 points and finishing as the leading try scorer with 10 tries from as many games.

Makasini, who recently gained selection in the Australian Rugby Union Under 18s development squad, has decided to stick with rugby league and pursue his dream of playing in the NRL with Wests Tigers.

Wests Tigers head coach, Benji Marshall, believes Makasini will be great for the club.

“We’re extremely excited to have Heamasi as part of the Wests Tigers family for the next three years,” said Marshall.

“He is one of the best young talents that we have who has progressed his way through our development programs. He is very humble, respectful and is a good young man.”

Heamasi will move into Wests Tigers top 30 in 2026.

The Titans have announced that experienced prop Reagan Campbell-Gillard will join the club in 2025 on a three-year deal.

The 31-year-old comes to the Gold Coast with 221 NRL games under his belt at Penrith and Parramatta, alongside Origin and International representative experience with the Blues and Kangaroos.

“It’s great to have Reagan join us in 2025,” Titans coach Des Hasler said.

“He’s a no-nonsense front rower with a high work rate and has been a mainstay in the NRL for the past decade.”

One of the young guns lining up alongside RCG in 2025 will be Klese Haas, who has signed a new deal to remain with the Titans until 2027.

Making his debut at the end of 2022, the emerging forward has now notched up 39 NRL games, including 22 appearances this season.

“I’ve really enjoyed learning under quality representative players like Tino, Moe and Dave who have really helped me grow as a player and a person, and I’m eager to keep working hard to bring success to the Gold Coast in the next few years,” Haas said.

Parramatta meanwhile have announced the signing of Jack Williams on a three-year deal, starting from next season.

The back-rower joins the club after a strong season with the Sharks, playing 25 games, including three match of this year’s finals series. 

“Jack is a player who has been on our radar for a while,” Parramatta Eels General Manager of Football Mark O’Neill said.

“His experience and leadership qualities will be great for our culture and align with how we want to play going forward. We’re pleased to continue building a strong list ahead of the 2025 preseason for the NRL program.”

Hard-working forward Josh Curran has been rewarded for a stellar season at the Bulldogs, with the club extending his contract to the end of 2026.

Arriving at Belmore from the Warriors this season, Curran played 24 games, averaging 120 run metres and 31 tackles per game.

“Josh has clearly played some of his best football this year and become an integral part of the team as both a major contributor on and off the field,” said Bulldogs general manager of football Phil Gould.

The Dolphins have struck a double blow in the recruitment race with former Blues Origin rep Daniel Saifiti and promising outside back Max Feagai joining Kristian Woolf’s squad in 2025.

Saifiti joins the Dolphins in 2025 after 183 games as a Knight as well as seven Origins for NSW between 2019 and 2021.

“We can’t wait to see Daniel in our colours next year and are excited about what he will add to our already formidable forward pack,” said Dolphins CEO Terry Reader.

“It is probably impossible to replace someone who has had the amazing career of Jesse Bromwich, but we know we have done extremely well in bringing in Daniel to add to our depth.”

Feagai has joined the Dolphins on a two-year deal and will look to add to his career tally of 23 NRL games.

The 23-year-old played 12 games for the Dragons in 2024.

The Knights have re-signed hard-working forward Mat Croker through to the end of the 2025 season, which will be his fifth season in the top grade at Newcastle.

Croker debuted in 2021 and has gone on to play 59 games for the Knights.

The Rabbitohs have extended the contract of outside back Isaiah Tass through to the end of the 2027 season.

Tass has played 47 NRL games since making his debut for the Rabbitohs against the Bulldogs in Round 6, 2022 season. He also represented the Indigenous All Stars in 2023.

“Isaiah works incredibly hard on his game and is equally dedicated to his football on the field as he is to his family off the field,” said Rabbitohs head of football Mark Ellison.

The Raiders have extended the contract of Kaeo Weekes until the end of the 2027 season.

In his first season with the club, Weekes played 17 matches for the club, showing his versatility and skill in both the halves and at fullback.

“I want to thank the club for giving me the opportunity to come down to Canberra. It was a big step to move down here away from my partner and family to chase my dream, but I’m so grateful I came,” Weekes said.

“It’s been a really enjoyable first year for me, I love this club and what they’re building for the future and I’m looking forward to building on what I’ve started over the next few years.”

All Blacks Rugby 7s star Moses Leo will join Melbourne Storm’s NRL squad from the 2026 season after signing a two-year contract.

Leo, who represented New Zealand at the recent Paris Olympic Games, has been identified by Storm’s recruitment team as a player who can fill a number of outside back positions, including wing, centre and fullback.

National Schoolboy Cup winners Sam Stephenson and Zane Harrison have been rewarded for leading Palm Beach Currumbin to victory in last week’s final with development contracts at the Gold Coast Titans. 

The pair have long been in the club’s system and trained with the first-grade side last pre-season and will take a major step towards NRL debuts when they join the squad on a full-time basis. 

Harrison won the Peter Sterling Medal in last week’s last gasp victory over Patrician Brothers Blackton while Stephenson is preparing to play two matches for the Australian Schoolboys in October.
