Mavrik Geyer to Join Wests Tigers on One-Year 2026 Deal

The 24-year-old back-rower will seek regular first-grade minutes within Benji Marshall’s Tigers rebuild.

Overview

  • Geyer featured in just two NRL matches in 2025 as his Penrith contract expired, leading him to sign a one-year deal with the Wests Tigers for the 2026 season.
  • Panthers general manager Shane Elford praised Geyer’s first-grade credentials and said the club’s success and established stars ahead of him made re-signing him impossible.
  • Geyer recorded a 94.3% tackle efficiency rate and scored two tries in the NSW Cup this year, metrics that convinced the Tigers of his readiness for more NRL action.
  • Wests Tigers coach Benji Marshall highlighted Geyer’s character and on-field qualities, welcoming him into a back-row group featuring Alex Seyfarth, Samuela Fainu and incoming recruit Kai Pearce-Paul.
  • The son of former Panther Mark Geyer aims to follow his father’s path by becoming a regular starter and helping drive the Tigers’ rebuilding effort.
