The Cronulla Sharks have reportedly entered talks with one of their most talented young players over a contract extension as they continue to fill up their roster for next season.

Yet to make his first-grade debut, the 20-year-old has been a key figure in the club's pathways system and was vital in their run to the Jersey Flegg Cup Grand Final before being defeated by the Canterbury Bulldogs.

A member of Greece's Rugby League World Cup (RLWC) squad in 2022, the fullback has an incredibly bright future ahead of him and can also be seen playing on the wing.

Despite reports emerging that he had caught the interest of multiple teams in the Super League,ย News Corpย is now reporting that the Sharks are in negotiations with Taukamo to keep him at the club on a one-year contract extension.

Taukamo's possible retention comes as the Cronulla Sharks have eight vacant spots left on their Top 30 roster for the 2025 NRL season.
