Tyson Frizell has extended his contract with the Newcastle Knights, committing to the club for the 2026 NRL season. The versatile forward, known for his relentless work rate and strong defense, has been a key figure in the Knights’ pack since joining in 2023.
Frizell, 33, brings a wealth of experience to the side with over 277 NRL appearances across his career, including representative honors for New South Wales and Australia. He has been instrumental in the Knights’ recent resurgence, providing leadership both on and off the field.
The re-signing secures one of the club’s most consistent performers as they look to build on their improving form. Frizell’s ability to play across the back row and lock adds valuable flexibility to Newcastle’s forward rotation.
