PENRITH, NSW — In a dramatic announcement that lit up rugby league circles on Wednesday morning, Penrith Panthers superstar halfback Nathan Cleary has agreed to a massive multimillion-dollar contract extension — a deal that will reportedly keep him in Panthers colours well into the next decade.

The club, fans, and even some rival players erupted online as Cleary fronted the press with a wide grin and a message of unshakable loyalty.

“I would like to finish my career with the Penrith Panthers,” Cleary said, pausing for a moment as the packed room of reporters leaned in.
“This club is my home. These teammates are my brothers. I’ve grown up here, won here, failed here, and learned here. I want to give everything I’ve got back to this community.”

While the Panthers declined to confirm the exact figures, insiders describe the deal as “historic in size and scope,” reflecting not only Cleary’s leadership on the field but also his role as one of the faces of modern rugby league.

Coach Ivan Cleary, smiling with the unmistakable pride of both a father and a mentor, praised his son’s commitment.

“Nathan’s decision shows the type of person he is. He’s loyal, grounded, and driven. He wants to build a legacy — and he wants that legacy to stay here.”

Fans outside BlueBet Stadium celebrated the news, some chanting Cleary’s name while others held homemade signs reading “CLEARY FOR LIFE” and “OUR CAPTAIN, OUR FUTURE.”

With the Panthers already shaping up as contenders for yet another title run, Cleary’s long-term commitment is being hailed as the final piece in what many believe could be a dynasty stretching far into the future.

Club CEO Brian Fletcher summed up the mood perfectly:
