In a stunning move, Manly Sea Eagles fullback Tom Trbojevic has announced that he will donate his entire $109 million signing bonus to support local youth rugby league programs and community initiatives across the Northern Beaches.
The 29-year-old fullback recently signed a one-year contract extension with the Sea Eagles, keeping him at the club until the end of 2027. However, it was the accompanying announcement that has sent shockwaves through the rugby league world.
“I want to give back to the community that has supported me throughout my career,” Trbojevic said in a statement. “Rugby league has given me so much, and I want to help provide opportunities for young kids to experience the joy of the game.”
The donation will fund programs aimed at promoting rugby league in local schools, supporting underprivileged kids, and developing grassroots rugby league infrastructure.
Trbojevic’s decision has been met with widespread praise from fans, teammates, and the rugby league community.
