Canterbury have scored a win off the field by re-signing second-rower Adam Elliott for three NRL seasons.
They may be struggling on the NRL field but Canterbury have scored a win by extending star forward Adam Elliott for a further three seasons.
The 25-year-old was off-contract at the end of the year but reportedly knocked back an offer from the Warriors to remain at the Bulldogs until the end of 2023.
Elliott has previously spoken about his love for the Bulldogs and a preference to stay with the club where he made his NRL debut back in 2016.
His signing is a huge coup for the club as they build towards next season under incoming coach Trent Barrett.
"Adam has become a fantastic leader at Belmore and when he runs on to the field for the Bulldogs you can feel the passion he has for the club," said club CEO Andrew Hill.
"He had also shown during the early part of this season that he was one of the form back-rowers in the competition."
Elliott is currently sidelined with a season-ending shoulder injury, but has used his time to raise almost $9000 for Autism Community Network.
