A rising star of the future, Tom Gilbert will stay on board with the Dolphins long-term after signing a contract extension.
Gilbert, who has recently played and impressed in Origin, was already contracted until the end of the 2025 season. His new deal is a three year extension.
Earmarked for a future leadership role, Gilbert is ecstatic to stay at the Dolphins and in Brisbane.
“I am very happy to have my long-term future locked in with the Dolphins,” said Gilbert.
“As a Brisbane boy, it has been a great experience to see an NRL team flourish in the region I grew up in. It’s also been a privilege to do it alongside this group of players and with my family right by my side.
“You can see that the Dolphins are set up for a bright future and I want to be part of it.”
Dolphins CEO Terry Reader believes that Gilbert will be destined for sustained higher honours and opportunities.
“Tom will always be remembered along with Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow as the first player to represent Queensland from the Dolphins NRL team,” said Reader.
“His work ethic and involvement both on and off the field for the Dolphins already has Tom held in high regard by both the coaches and staff of the club.
“His impressive maturity and ability to work hard towards a goal make him a certainty for future leadership roles here, not excluding the opportunity to one day be captain of the club.”
