Wests Tigers are pleased to announce that Jacob Liddle has extended his playing contract for a further season, securing him at the club until at least the end of 2019.

Liddle was already under contract for the 2018 season, and has signed a one-year contract extension to keep him in Wests Tigers colours for the next two seasons.

A former Australian Schoolboy, Liddle was a standout in the club’s Holden Cup side throughout 2015 and 2016 — awarded the club’s NYC Player’s Player award in 2015 before being selected in the New South Wales under-20s squad the following year.

Going on to make his memorable first grade debut later in 2016 against the Bulldogs, the Wyong Roos junior has featured in eight games for Ivan Cleary’s side so far in 2017.

Liddle said he was looking forward to continuing his development with Wests Tigers.

"I’m really excited for the opportunity that Wests Tigers has given me, the club has given me the chance to develop my game both on and off the field," said Liddle.
