Tyson Frizell signs one-year deal with Wests Tigers for 2027
Tyson Frizell will join Wests Tigers for the 2027 NRL season on a one-year deal.
The 35-year-old forward is set to play his 17th season in the league.
Coach Benji Marshall had asked Frizell to join several times, and Frizell previously played with him at St George Illawarra.
The Tigers want him to help guide their young forwards, and he says he will need to earn their respect by leading through his actions.
The club has gone 15 years without reaching the finals, but Frizell says past results do not determine what a new season can bring.
He points to Newcastle reaching a grand final within 12 months of finishing last as an example of how quickly a team’s fortunes can change.
Frizell will start with the Tigers in January and prepare for the club’s February 27 game against Melbourne in Las Vegas; he says he is focused on 2027 and has not ruled out playing another season.
