South Sydney youngster Braidon Burns has re-signed with the club until the end of the 2021 season.
The 22-year has played 15 NRL games for the Rabbitohs after making his first-grade debut in 2017, displaying great versatility through his capacity to play a variety of positions.
“I feel like I’m in a really good spot now and the Rabbits is where I want to play my football,” Burns told the club website.
“I love playing for this Club, for the Members and the fans. They are really passionate about the Club and they give us support all year round.
“It’s really important that we repay that faith that they have in us and for me. That’s about playing and training to the best of my ability and putting something back into the community when I can.
“I’ve had a good chat with Wayne (Bennett) about my football and he’s showing confidence in me which helps me be confident about my football.
“I can’t wait to get back out there in the coming weeks to do my best for this great Club.”
South Sydney GM Shane Richardson was pleased to see the young back recommit to the club.
“Braidon is an exciting young player with a great attitude towards his football,” Richardson told the club website.
“He has embraced his role at the Club, both on and off the field, over the past two years and we know that his best football is in front of him.
“He has the skill, size and pace that we are looking for and we’re really excited to see him grow under the tutelage of Wayne.
“The contribution he makes to the community through Souths Cares is also first class and we can see the pride he takes in helping those in need.
“We’re excited to have Braidon extend his time with us and we’re looking forward to working with him for at least the next three years.”
