Manly Warringah Sea Eagles have today re-signed crafty young hooker Gordon Chan Kum Tong for 2025.
Off contract at the end of this season, Chan Kum Tong has signed a new one-year deal with the Sea Eagles.
The 22-year-old has played six matches for the Sea Eagles after making his NRL debut for Manly against Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs in round 26 last year.
Chan Kum Tong, who has come through the Sea Eagles Pathways Academy, has also represented Samoa at Test level.
“Gordie brings a lot of energy and is a fantastic team first type of person. We feel like he is getting better and better with his football,’’ said Manly Coach Anthony Seibold.
“He is right at the beginning of his NRL career at only 22.
“To have Lachlan Croker, Jake Simpkin, and Gordie as our three hookers in 2025 gives us great depth as all three have played first grade.
“Jake has played 43 NRL matches and he is also only 22, while Lachlan has played over 100 NRL games.
“We feel like we have got a good mix of experience and emerging talent in that position.”
