The Wests Tigers have locked away young gun Shawn Blore on a contract extension.

The new two-year deal ties the 20-year old to Concord until at least the end of the 2023 season.

Blore was thrilled to commit his future to the Tigers.

โ€œIโ€™m so happy to re-sign with Wests Tigers,โ€ Blore told the club website.

โ€œThe club has given me a shot and theyโ€™ve been so good to me and my family throughout that.

โ€œI feel like I owe the club the best I can be and the best I can be for the next few years.

โ€œI love it here โ€” the boys have been really good to me and Iโ€™m extremely happy to sign on.

โ€œThe boys have truly made me feel part of the family and thatโ€™s definitely part of my decision to re-sign.

โ€œIโ€™m happy here. The club is going in the right direction; I know itโ€™s a club on the rise and I definitely want to be a part of that.โ€

Blore made his NRL debut in Round 11 of this season and went on to make four-first grade appearances.

He has previously exceeded at junior representative level for Penrith SG Ball, New South Wales U/18โ€™s and Junior Kangaroos.

Tigers coach Michael Maguire said Bore would be a valuable addition to his side.

โ€œIโ€™m really pleased to see Shawn commit to Wests Tigers,โ€ Maguire said.

โ€œIโ€™ve gotten to know Shawn quite closely since coming to the club and Iโ€™ve been really pleased in how well heโ€™s developed. Heโ€™s grown a lot as a player since being at Wests Tigers and heโ€™s an extremely strong character and leader.
