Overview

• The deal was signed on Wednesday night before Farnworth flew to England for his first Ashes series against Australia.
• Already contracted for 2026, the extra year ensures he will not enter free agency on November 1 and takes him off Perth's 2027 recruitment board.
• The 25-year-old is back training after a hamstring injury and is expected to be fit for England's first Test at Wembley on October 25.
• Farnworth said staying was an easy decision, pointing to confidence in the Dolphins' roster and what it can achieve over the next two seasons.
• Dolphins CEO Terry Reader called the retention a huge announcement and praised Farnworth as one of the best players in the NRL.
