Breaking News: Stephen Crichton Signs Three-Year Extension with Canterbury Bulldogs
In a major boost for the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs, star centre Stephen Crichton has signed a three-year contract extension, securing his place at the club until the end of the 2028 NRL season. The 23-year-old Samoan international joined the Bulldogs in 2024 and has quickly become a cornerstone of the team’s rebuilding efforts under head coach Cameron Ciraldo.
Crichton, a three-time premiership winner with the Penrith Panthers, brought invaluable experience and leadership to Belmore, both on and off the field. His versatility, defensive strength, and try-scoring ability have made him a fan favourite and a key figure in the Bulldogs’ long-term plans.
Club CEO Aaron Warburton expressed excitement about retaining Crichton, calling him “a world-class talent and a vital part of our future.” Crichton also shared his enthusiasm, saying he’s “grateful for the opportunity to continue building something special with this team.”
This extension signals the Bulldogs’ commitment to developing a competitive roster and signals confidence in their current direction. With Crichton locked in for the next several years, Bulldogs fans can look forward to a more stable and promising era as the club continues its climb back to the top tier of the NRL ladder.
