Fresh from being crowned the Titans’ rookie of the year, Josh Patston has extended his time on the Gold Coast until the end of 2027.<\/p>\n

Taking up a train-and-trial deal in 2025, the journeyman earned his debut in Round 15 before becoming a regular in the 17 each week to finish the season with eight appearances – even scoring his maiden try against the Sharks.<\/p>\n

Having previously spent pre-season stints with both the Storm and Broncos before finding his full-time home at the Titans after growing up in Lismore, the versatile middle \/ edge forward is looking forward to the next chapter of his career after securing a top 30 contract.<\/p>\n
