Linked with a move away from Redcliffe to join either the Dragons or Rabbitohs, hooker Jeremy Marshall-King has reportedly confirmed his long-term future in the NRL.
Regarded as one of the club's best players, hookerย Marshall-Kingย has been a revelation inย The Dolphins jersey, which saw him on track to wear theย New Zealandย Kiwis No.9 jumper in last year'sย Pacific Championshipsย before succumbing to injury.
His good performances saw him linked with a potential move to the St George Illawarra Dragons and South Sydney Rabbitohs.
However, according to 9Newsย journalist Danny Weidler, he will remain at The Dolphins until the end of the 2028 season.
Marshall-King was already signed until the end of 2025 and was unable to negotiate with rivals until November 1 later this year for the 2026ย NRL season, but contract talks between the two parties were stalled for a lengthy period of time.

With Wayne Bennet departing the club andย Kristian Woolfย taking over the coaching reins, the ex-Super Leagueย coach will look to the hooker to lead the team's forward pack and be a vocal leader on the field.
Marshall-King - the younger brother ofย Wests Tigersย coachย Benji Marshall - has appeared in 127 first-grade games, with 27 of them being forย The Dolphins, and made twoย Testย appearances forย New Zealand.
After joining the team from theย Canterbury Bulldogsย on a contract worth $300,000 per season, he is now earning $600,000 a season after re-signing with the club last season.
Only a few games into last season, the club confirmed they had extended his contract until the end of the 2025ย NRLย season.
"It has been a great move for my family and we have enjoyed ourselves immensely up here," said Marshall-King at the time of his re-signing.
"I want to thank the Dolphins' fans and the local community for how they have welcomed us."
"I am really excited about what is ahead for the future of the Dolphins and I want to be part of it."
