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.
โIโm so happy to re-sign with Wests Tigers,โ Blore told the club website.

โI feel like I owe the club the best I can be and the best I can be for the next few years.
