nib Newcastle Knights powerhouse winger Greg Marzhew has recommitted to the Club, signing a three-year extension that will keep him in Newcastle until at least the end of the 2029 season.
Marzhew currently sits second in the NRL for line breaks and is among the competition’s leading try scorers. He equalled the Club record with five tries against the Dragons, part of an eight-try haul across two matches, to take his season tally to 13.
Knights Head of Recruitment Peter O’Sullivan said it was great to get Marzhew’s future sorted.
“Greg has been in stellar form, he’s thriving outside Bradman, and we’re pleased he has recommitted to the Club,” O’Sullivan said.
“The game is dependent on backfield carries and Greg has one of the best carries in the NRL. Along with his try-scoring ability, he produces tries that others just can’t score.”
“Greg is an important signing. He is extremely popular within the playing group and throughout the Club, and our community loves him.”
“Pleasingly, Greg turned down higher offers from other clubs to stay with the Knights and be part of our success moving forward.”
NRL Head Coach Justin Holbrook said he was thrilled Marzhew had chosen to stay with the Knights.
“Greg is an extremely important part of our left edge,” Holbrook said.
“After being a late starter in the NRL, Greg has improved each year, with his form this season showing he is a world-class winger.
“This contract extension, is a great reward for his hard work.”
The Knights face the Gold Coast Titans at 2.00pm on Sunday at Suncorp Stadium, with the match forming part of the NRL’s Magic Round weekend.
