One of 12 players at the Canterbury Bulldogs<\/a> who are free to speak with rival teams, fullback Connor Tracey<\/a> has addressed his future as he enters the final 12 months of his current contract.<\/p>\n

A valuable member of the Bulldogs’ spine, Tracey has taken his game to new heights over the past two seasons since arriving from the Cronulla Sharks<\/a> and has been able to make the fullback spot his own.<\/p>\n

Overcoming three ACL injuries throughout his career, Tracey has been electric at the back of the field for the Belmore-based side, which has seen him produce consistent performances, week in, week out.<\/p>\n

Although reports emerged in September that the club were interested in extending Tracey on a long-term contract, he has yet to be extended and remains off-contract at the end of the 2026 season.<\/p>\n

“It’s really not something I’ve sort of too much. I’ve got a good manager, so I just sort of let him handle it, and I’m just focused on training hard and really looking forward to getting in,” Tracey said on\u00a0The Chad Townsend Show.<\/a><\/p>\n

“I’ve got next year anyway, so I feel like as a player you’re looking at the year that’s coming, you’re not looking at the year after that, so I’m just leaving it to my manager.<\/p>\n

“I’d love to stay at the Bulldogs. (It’s) such a good club, and I’m always going to do my best for them when I put on the jersey.<\/p>\n

“My body’s feeling great…but after all the injuries I’ve had, and sort of figuring out how to handle my body and the training it needs. I feel like I’m probably in the best position I’ve been physically.<\/p>\n

“I’m feeling good and waiting for the wheels to fall off, and I’m happy to play as long as the team needs me, and one day they’ll be a kid that comes and takes my spot, but that’ll be fine.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"One of 12 players at the Canterbury Bulldogs who are free to speak with rival teams, fullback Connor…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":280392,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[568],"tags":[64,63,761,762,158,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-280391","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nrl","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-national-rugby-league","11":"tag-nationalrugbyleague","12":"tag-nrl","13":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/280391","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=280391"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/280391\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/280392"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=280391"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=280391"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=280391"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
