Current NRL Squad members in experienced outside back Mawene Hiroti, half back Niwhai Puru, backrower Billy Burns, hooker Jayden Berrell, and young centre Chris Veaíla, have all signed one-year contract extensions that will keep them at the Cronulla club in 2025. All five players were members of the Newtown Jets NSW Cup Grand Final winning team against the North Sydney Bears.

The five will be a part of the Sharks full-time NRL squad, with training to resume in late November.

The Sharks can also confirm the signings of three local juniors named in the Australian Schoolboys team in Nikora Williams, Tom Dellow and Alex Challenor, the trio playing in recent matches against France and PNG. All three have signed until the end of the 2027 NRL Season.

In rounding out a busy period of re-signings and player retention, barnstorming prop Felix Faatili, integral to the success of the Jersey Flegg team in 2024, has also extended his contract with the Sharks until the end of 2026 and will join the senior NRL group during the upcoming pre-season.

Promising youngsters from the 2024 Sharks Harold Matthews team in Callum Grantham (signed until 2028), Oliver Lester (2027), Blake Whatman (2027), along with Jai Davies (2026) who played SG Ball last year before moving up into the Jersey Flegg team, have also signed multi-year contacts with the Cronulla club.
During the term of their contracts all will have the opportunity to train with the NRL squad for varying periods.

Sharks half Braydon Trindall has extended his time with the Cronulla club in putting pen to paper on a new long term contract.

Already signed on for 2025, with the three-year contract extension Trindall is now committed to the Sharks until the end of the 2028 season.

A mainstay of the Sharks pack over the past two seasons, prop Oregon Kaufusi has agreed to terms on a one-year contract and will remain at the Cronulla club in 2025.

While in more signing news, utility Hohepa Puru, twin brother of talented half/five-eighth Niwhai, joins the Sharks' full time NRL squad for the 2025 season.
