Sam Verrills returns to Roosters on development deal for 2027

Sam Verrills is set to sign a development deal with the Sydney Roosters for 2027, following his departure from the Gold Coast Titans at the end of the 2026 season. His time with the Titans ended amidst challenges under head coach Josh Hannay, and reports indicate he opted for a return to Australia instead of moving to the English Super League. The Roosters plan to upgrade his contract to a Top 30 spot mid-season, as he competes for the backup dummy half position behind Reece Robson, who has a three-year contract with the team.
