Manly Sea Eagles begin Trbojevic brothers' extensions talks
Manly Sea Eagles have begun contract extension process with the Trbojevic brothers Jake and Tom.
www.sportingnews.comHere’s the latest I can share based on recent reporting:
-
Jake Trbojevic has triggered a contract option to play on for 2027 with Manly, effectively signaling his intention to stay for at least another year and extending his tenure with the Sea Eagles. This development followed a period where Manly’s form improved under interim coach Kieran Foran, with Trbojevic captaining and contributing strongly, which helped steady the club mid-season. ESPN and other outlets noted that while the deal commits him to 2027, Trbojevic is weighing whether to activate the option for a full next year, indicating a cautious approach to his long-term playing future.[1][3][5][8]
-
The news around the contract option being exercised came in May 2026, aligning with discussions about the Trbojevic brothers’ extensions at Manly and signaling a broader commitment from the club to maintain veteran leadership as they push for competitive results.[6][10]
-
There were earlier reports in 2025 indicating Tom Trbojevic signed a one-year extension through 2027, but those revolve around his brother Jake’s situation as part of ongoing contract talks within the club. While not directly about Jake, this contextualizes the broader tail end of Manly’s contract discussions era for the Trbojevic family.[2]
