The Sydney Roosters have announced that captain Boyd Cordner has agreed to terms on a five-year extension, keeping him at the club until at least the end of 2023.

โ€œThere are no words for how proud I am to be a Rooster, I just love the Club,โ€ said Cordner.

โ€œIโ€™ve been with the Roosters since I was 16 and the Club has played a massive role in my development both as a footballer and as a man.

โ€œFrom the top down, thereโ€™s a great group of people at the Roosters. Weโ€™re a family and this is home, so Iโ€™m stoked to know that Iโ€™ll continue to be part of the team here,โ€ he added.

โ€œBoyd joined the Roosters as part of our pathway program, and has developed into a leader of not only this Club, but also his State,โ€ said Roosters recruitment manager Adam Hartigan.

โ€œWe see Boyd as a Rooster for life. From the outset, Boyd said that his heart was with the Roosters and that this is where he wanted to continue his career, so itโ€™s a massive boost for the Club to have agreed to terms with Boyd for a further five years,โ€ he added.

Roosters head coach Trent Robinson was pleased that Cordnerโ€™s leadership would continue to benefit the team.

โ€œBoyd is our captain, and he is highly-respected for not only his strong work ethic and tireless work rate on the field, but just as importantly, for the man he is away from the field,โ€ said Robinson.

โ€œItโ€™s great news for the Roosters that Boydโ€™s experience and leadership will continue to benefit the team around him in the coming years,โ€ he added.
