Canterbury Bulldogs GM of Football Phil Gould has confirmed that the club have tabled an extension offer to a key member of their spine.<\/p>\n

After it was revealed on the weekend that the Bulldogs had offered fullback Connor Tracey a two-year contract extension, Gould confirmed these reports on Monday night, stating the side is now just awaiting the star\u2019s signature.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe offer\u2019s gone out in the email. We\u2019ve been talking to him for some months, there was never any doubts about us re-signing him,\u201d Gould said on 100% Footy.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe just had Vegas to get through and had a big preparation for the game down at Canberra. We caught up with his wife and manager last week.<\/p>\n

\u201cI sent an offer out on Friday so I expect to hear back very shortly.\u201d<\/p>\n

One of the club\u2019s best during the opening round of their 2026 campaign, Tracey\u2019s extension is likely to put an end to rumours linking the club to Wests Tigers star Jahream Bula.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s put a lot of hard work into both sides of his game … he\u2019s a very underrated player but we love having him at our club,\u201d Bulldogs coach Cameron Ciraldo added.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s trained outstanding this whole pre-season. He\u2019s a guy who had a lot of injuries early on so there was a couple of years there when he didn\u2019t have pre-seasons.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Bulldogs kicked off their 2026 season with a tight 15-14 victory over the Dragons \u2014 before they followed that up with a 14-10 win against the Raiders.<\/p>\n

But their perfect start was halted by the Knights on Saturday as Ciraldo\u2019s side suffered a 24-16 defeat in Sydney.<\/p>\n

The result leaves the Bulldogs sixth in the table ahead of their clash with the Rabbitohs on Friday.<\/p>\n
