Cronulla playmaker Braydon Trindall has signed a new deal to remain in the Shire for the 2021 season, perย Sporting News.

The 21-year-old impressed in his debut season with the Sharks and looked to be a flexible asset in the halves and at hooker.

With Shaun Johnson set for a lengthy spell on the sidelines and in danger of missing the opening rounds of 2021, Trindall will be a vital cog in John Morris' side.

Speaking on Trindall, Morris was delighted with the signing.

โ€œItโ€™s great news for the club weโ€™ve been able to retain Braydon, who is another player that has come through our elite pathways into our NRL squad,โ€ Morris said.

โ€œBraydon showed with his performances last year he definitely has the potential and didnโ€™t look out place in the NRL.

โ€œHeโ€™s a natural half who can also play hooker, possesses a strong kicking game and is a good goal kicker. With another solid pre-season under his belt, Iโ€™m sure he will push for selection in the NRL team in 2021.โ€
