Breaking News: Manly Sea Eagles Top Star Confirms He Wants To Return
In a surprising development, Manly Sea Eagles captain and club legend Daly Cherry-Evans has confirmed he is open to returning to the club beyond his previously announced exit. The 36-year-old halfback, who has been the face of the Sea Eagles for over a decade, had earlier indicated that the 2025 season would be his last at Brookvale. However, recent comments suggest he’s reconsidering.
“I love this club and I’ve still got more to give,” Cherry-Evans told reporters. “If there’s a role for me, I’d love to be part of Manly’s future in any way I can.”
Club officials, including CEO Tony Mestrov and chairman Scott Penn, have expressed cautious optimism. They’ve long maintained their desire for Cherry-Evans to retire as a one-club player, highlighting his leadership and consistency as irreplaceable assets.
In the meantime, the Sea Eagles have reportedly begun preparing for a transition, with Canberra Raiders’ Jamal Fogarty believed to be in advanced talks for a multi-year deal as the club’s next playmaker.
Whether Cherry-Evans returns as a player, mentor, or coach remains unclear, but his revelation has added unexpected drama to Manly’s off-season and renewed hope among loyal fans.
