“The deal follows confirmation his 2026 campaign had been cruelly halted after rupturing the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in his right knee in the opening minutes of last Sunday’s Magic Round encounter with Broncos at Suncorp Stadium.
“Initially secured for 2025 and 2026, the 25-year-old’s contract extension follows his superb form this season which has helped the Warriors to second on the ladder heading into tomorrow night’s round 12 clash against the Dragons.”
Warriors general manager recruitment, pathways and development Andrew McFadden said Boyd’s extension was just reward amid a trying week for the playmaker.
“It has been a devastating week for Tanah but this is just reward for what he has done so far and for the belief we have in him for the next three seasons,” McFadden said.

“He’s upset right now but the way he has handled himself this week has been unbelievable.
“I haven’t seen a player go through an ACL and reconnect with a team so quickly.
Tanah has been at training sessions, he has been in our meetings, given his opinion and told Te Maire (Martin) if he needs any reps he’ll help, not physical because he can’t, but mental reps.
