Tyson Gamble’s NRL<\/a> career appears set to come to an end, with the Knights playmaker securing a two-year deal with the Catalans Dragons<\/a> from 2027.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The Super League<\/a> club confirmed the signing in the early hours of Friday morning, with Gamble becoming the latest Australian to make the move overseas following an eight-year stint in the NRL<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The 30-year-old made his first-grade debut for the Wests Tigers<\/a> in 2018 before joining the Brisbane Broncos<\/a>, where he spent three seasons. Gamble then linked up with the Newcastle Knights<\/a> ahead of the 2023 season, spending four years in the Hunter.\u00a0<\/p>\n

His move to France<\/a> comes as Catalans prepare for a changing of the guard in the halves. Gamble is set to replace Toby Sexton<\/a>, who is heading to the Perth Bears<\/a> to help shape the NRL’s newest franchise ahead of its inaugural campaign.<\/p>\n

Catalans head coach John Cartwright<\/a> welcomed the signing, backing Gamble’s competitiveness and experience to strengthen the squad.<\/p>\n

\u201cTyson is another player I have worked with in the past. A super competitive player. Bring the same attitude to training. Brings experience, a good kicking game, and is a strong defender. Will be a great addition to the squad,” Cartwright wrote in a club statement.<\/p>\n

Gamble also expressed his excitement about the opportunity to continue his career abroad and experience a new challenge in the Super League<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI’m so excited to pull the Catalan Dragons jersey on for the next two seasons,” Gamble said.<\/p>\n

“I’m grateful to the club for this opportunity and I hope I can do them and the fans proud!”\u00a0<\/p>\n

The move will provide Gamble with the chance to extend his professional career beyond the NRL<\/a> after a journey that has taken him through three clubs and several different roles.<\/p>\n

Across his NRL<\/a> career, Gamble has made 70 first-grade appearances and scored nine tries. However, opportunities have been limited in 2026, with the playmaker featuring just once for Newcastle this season.<\/p>\n

While his NRL<\/a> chapter appears to be drawing to a close, Gamble now has the opportunity to begin a new adventure in the south of France<\/a>, where Catalans will hope his experience and leadership can help drive the club towards future success.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tyson Gamble’s NRL career appears set to come to an end, with the Knights playmaker securing a two-year…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":760387,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[568],"tags":[64,63,761,762,158,85],"class_list":["post-760386","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nrl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-national-rugby-league","tag-nationalrugbyleague","tag-nrl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/760386","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=760386"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/760386\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/760387"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=760386"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=760386"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=760386"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
