He’s replacing Latrell Mitchell this weekend and the good news keeps coming for Jye Gray after his contract was extended by the South Sydney Rabbitohs.
The 20-year-old’s signed on for two more years, until the end of the 2026 season.
Gray has starred in NSW Cup and will make his debut against the Sharks after Mitchell’s suspension.
“I’m just so grateful for the opportunity that Souths have given me to play for this club,” he said.
“I can’t wait to see what we can all achieve over the next few years as I know there are some very exciting times ahead.
“We have a great playing group here and I can’t wait to run out with the boys in my debut on the weekend.
“I’m really so grateful for the opportunities I have been given here at the Rabbitohs and I wouldn’t want to play anywhere else.”
Rabbitohs head of football, Mark Ellison, expressed his excitement at seeing the livewire extend.
“Jye has the potential to have a long and fruitful NRL career and it’s wonderful to know he sees his future here at the Rabbitohs,” Mr Ellison said.
“Jye is one of the young, up-and-coming stars at our club and we’re all excited to see him make his NRL debut this weekend.
“His style of play is very dangerous for opposition defences in attack, using his quicksilver pace to trouble his opponents, and he is a high-quality defender as well.
“We’re excited about Jye’s prospects and we’re certain our members will enjoy watching him play in the red and green for years to come.
“We look forward to seeing him continue his development at our club.”
