Wests Tigers' Chris Lawrence has re-signed for the club on a one-year deal.

It will tie the 31-year old to the club for a 15th season, making him the longest serving Tigers player in the club's history.

The Tigers' all-time leading try-scorer and third most capped player of all time, Lawrence was pleased to extend his career into 2020.

โ€œIโ€™m extremely thankful and proud to re-sign with Wests Tigers for another year,โ€ Lawrence told the club website.

โ€œThis club has always been where I have called home and Iโ€™m really excited to be able to continue playing in the colours that I love.

โ€œThe Members and fans of Wests Tigers have always shown tremendous support to me throughout my career and Iโ€™m very grateful for that.

"Under Michael Maguire, Wests Tigers is definitely going in the right direction so Iโ€™m looking forward to being a part of that and help bring the success this club deserves.โ€

Tigers coach Michael Maguire said Lawrence will have an important role to player next year.

โ€œIโ€™m really pleased weโ€™ve been able to re-sign Chris,โ€ Maguire said.

โ€œHe has been a wonderful player for this club for a long time but continues to grow in his game and role on the field โ€” which is most pleasing to see.

โ€œChris is a really key part of what weโ€™re building here as one of the senior players in the side, and I have no doubt that he will continue to show that on and off the field in the year ahead.โ€

  1. Well deserved. He has had some really bad luck with injures over the years esp. to his hip and face which were career threatening.
