Nathan Cleary nearing new contract with Penrith Panthers

Nathan Cleary is close to signing a new deal with the Penrith Panthers, following delays caused by injuries suffered in September. Reports indicate he is interested in a two-year extension with an additional two-year option, potentially keeping him at the club until 2032. While the deal is not finalized, an agreement has been reached, putting the PNG Chiefs' hopes of securing Cleary at risk as they seek other recruits. The Panthers continue to focus on retaining other key players like Liam Martin, Isaah Yeo, and Moses Leota, whose futures were also in question leading up to November 1.
