Manly Sea Eagles Secure Young Star Joey Walsh Until 2029
The Manly Sea Eagles have announced a two-year contract extension for 20-year-old Joey Walsh, locking him in until the end of the 2029 season. The news was delivered on Wednesday afternoon.
A Major Signing for the Future
Walsh, who made his NRL debut in 2025, was previously contracted until the end of next season. The extension prevents other NRL clubs from recruiting him before the November 1 deadline.
Coach Kieran Foran did not hold back his praise, calling Walsh a "special talent." The club is excited to see his continued development. Walsh is the second recent player to extend his stay under Foran, following Clayton Faulalo.
Walsh's Reaction
The young star expressed his happiness at the new deal, stating he has "loved the past couple of years" at Manly and looks forward to continuing to grow as a player.
What's Next
Manly is scheduled to play against the Melbourne Storm on Saturday night, with Walsh named on the bench for the clash.
