Wests Tigers CEO Shane Richardson has confirmed that they will enter talks with Alex Seyfarth to extend his tenure as he runs off-contract at the end of next season.

Free to speak with rival clubs, Seyfarth enters the final 12 months of his current deal, which he signed at the end of the 2023 season, but is keen to remain at the Wests Tigers for the foreseeable future.

Although he is seen as hot-headed due to the number of sin-bins he received this year, it didn't stop him from having a breakout season. This saw him selected into the Prime Minister's XIII team alongside Lachlan Galvin.

Able to play anywhere in the forwards but commonly used in the second row, he has been with the club since 2017 and has registered 70 matches in the NRL since his debut in 2020.

"We've decided to sit down and talk with Seyfarth after Christmas which he's really happy about extending himself," Wests Tigers CEO Shane Richardson said on Behind The Roar.

This comes after he was heavily linked with a move to the Canterbury Bulldogs last year and even entered discussion with them before deciding to re-sign with the Tigers, much to the fan base's pleasure.

In 23 matches this season, he scored four tries, made 21 tackle busts and 701.4 post-contact metres, averaged 75 running metres per match and made 604 total tackles.
