“We are delighted Tyson is staying on for another year," O’Sullivan said.
“His experience, energy, and work ethic will be vital for the emerging edge players and several new middles we have joining the Club.
“Tyson is in terrific condition; despite playing and training with such velocity for over 15 years, his longevity is a testament to his true professionalism.
“With the ability to play middle and edge forward, he it gives the squad a strong balance and his extension is a perfect way to celebrate his 100 games at the Newcastle Knights.”
