Bulldogs star Connor Tracey looks set to re-sign with the club on a fresh two-year deal.
According to The Sydney Morning Herald, the fullback is tipped to extend his time at Canterbury until the end of 2028 after a meeting with Phil Gould.
Tracey sat down with Gould during the week for a Chinese meal at Canterbury Leagues Club and the club are expected to announce his extension soon.

The 29-year-old has overcome a horror injury history during his time with South Sydney and Cronulla to become a mainstay at fullback for the Dogs.
Since arriving two years ago, Tracey has played 49 games in the blue and white jersey, becoming one of Cameron Ciraldo‘s most reliable and consistent players.
He had been linked as a possible Perth Bears signing ahead of their inaugural 2027 season, but has opted to remain loyal and stay at Belmore.

Tracey has been brilliant at the back for Canterbury in the first three games, averaging 230 run metres per game and breaking 10 tackles.
His performance in round three against the Canberra Raiders earned him enormous praise, scoring a try before stopping another with a try-saving tackle on Ethan Sanders.
Canterbury lost their first game of the year on Saturday afternoon, going down to a wounded Knights outfit 24-16 at Accor Stadium.
