Wests Tigers Extend Adam Doueihi Through 2029 Ahead of Halfback Switch

The long-term deal signals confidence in his move to halfback after three ACL ruptures.

Overview

  • The club confirmed a two-year extension that keeps the 27-year-old at Concord through the end of 2029, with the added years reported by CODE Sports.
  • The announcement landed a little over a day before the season opener against the North Queensland Cowboys at Leichhardt Oval, where he is set to start at halfback.
  • Doueihi will partner Jarome Luai in the halves as the Tigers seek greater stability in their spine.
  • Coach Benji Marshall called the extension a credit to Doueihi’s character and work ethic following three ACL injuries.
  • Doueihi said he is excited to stay and believes halfback best suits his strengths, as the agreement follows reports of an earlier short-term offer and outside interest.
