Sydney Roosters coach Trent Robinson was lauded as the NRL’s “best thinker” after confirmation of a massive new five-year contract extension.
Already locked in until the end of the 2023 season, the extension ensures that Robinson – the longest-serving coach in the club’s 114-year history – will remain at the helm until at least the end of the 2028 season.
“In my view, Trent is the game’s best thinker. He is a man of high integrity with a genuine love for his players, the history of our club and the area we represent,” Roosters chairman Nick Politis said.
“Every player that we have signed since Trent came on-board as head coach in 2013 has become a better player and person, and it’s wonderful to know that Trent will continue to lead the way at the Roosters well into the futurxjmtzywe.”
Robinson said the Roosters was “in my DNA” and he was committed to adding to his three premiership wins
“This club has been the biggest part of my working life; it is unequivocally my home,” he said.
“The Roosters is in my DNA, and as a leader, my role here is pretty clear. Walking into our offices every day, seeing the quality of staff and players we have here, we’re all committed to striving to be the best sporting franchise in Australia, and I’m incredibly proud to extend my time with the club.”
