The nib Newcastle Knights are delighted to confirm NRLW outside back Tenika Willison has re-signed with the Club until the end of the 2026 National Rugby League Women’s premiership season.
Willison, 27, joined the Knights earlier this year, immediately after completing her International commitments for New Zealand Rugby, with her team winning Gold at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris.
Knights NRLW Head Coach Ben Jeffries said he is extremely pleased Tenika has decided to re-sign with the Knights.
“It was clear as soon as Tenika joined our pathways, she was going to add to our group on and off the field and she certainly has been a major contributor,” Jeffries said.
“Tenika is a team first character with an unquestionable work ethic, she works right across our group to help others and moving forward I can see her assisting development players like Lily-Ann White to get to the next level.
“Her competitiveness and experience as a high-end athlete were evident from the get-go, equally her ability to adapt so quickly to NRLW level, without a full pre-season, is a testament to her.
“With the benefit of NRLW game experience and a pre-season underneath her belt, we know Tenika will be better again and we are excited about her prospects next year and beyond."
