The nib Newcastle Knights are delighted to announce the club has extended the NRLW contract of highly regarded International and NRLW Premiership winner Shanice Parker, until at least the end of the 2028 season.
Parker has played an integral role in the Knights success since joining the club in 2022, providing inspirational leadership and professionalism both on and off the field.
The long-term extension reflects the respect the Newcastle Knights has for the Kiwi and Māori International, along with rewarding her hard work and dedication to become a back-to-back premiership winner who continually inspires her teammates to chase their success.
nib Newcastle Knights NRLW Head Coach Ben Jeffries said this re-signing of the 2022 Knights Player of the Year is a crucial part for the club’s long-term plans.
“Shanice has been highly influential since her arrival at the Knights,” Jeffries said.
“Being an International and multi-premiership winner, she has earned the respect of her peers, staff and the broader Hunter community.
“Shanice is a great club person, who values family and culture, which is the foundations we want in our club, extending her contract was a no brainer for us.
“The Knights need good leaders to help evolve our playing group and the next generation coming through our pathway’s programs.
Shanice’s experience is invaluable, and we believe she will help guide the current squad and many more coming through our female programs in the future.”
