The Gold Coast Titans<\/a> have announced the extension of promising young halfback Zane Harrison<\/a> until the end of 2029.<\/p>\n

The Palm Beach junior burst onto the scene in 2026, showing plenty of skilful playmaking and a composed kicking game, with his fresh signature adding plenty of confidence that the club is heading in a positive direction despite a tough season.<\/p>\n

Young, talented halfbacks are hard to come by on the market, so the Titans have struck to secure the 20-year-old before rivals get a chance, with Harrison progressing through the grades since he was a young teenager.<\/p>\n

Titans coach Josh Hannay<\/a> is thrilled Harrison has agreed to terms to remain at home in Gold Coast long-term.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince I joined the club, Zane has consistently spoken about three things – his teammates, his love of the Titans and his desire to bring success to his hometown,\u201d Hannay said in a Titans statement.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe’s one of the most impressive young men I’ve worked with and demonstrates day-in, day-out the qualities we want as a Gold Coast Titan.<\/p>\n

\"NRL<\/p>\n

\u201cHe’s tough to go with his talent and his temperament is what sets him apart as a young playmaker who has grown up wanting to represent his region.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere has been plenty of speculation about Zane’s contract situation over the past month, but what we’ve seen throughout this process is a young man who genuinely wants to be part of what we’re building here.<\/p>\n

\u201cHis commitment to this club and his desire to bring success to the Gold Coast have never wavered since he became a Titan at 15.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe wants to be part of a team that brings success to the Gold Coast and I can’t wait to see him continue to develop into the best player and teammate he can be as he does everything in his power to make that happen.<\/p>\n

\u201cMake no mistake, Zane is a proud Titan.\u201d<\/p>\n

Harrison showed his class when he iced a match-winning field goal against the Panthers in June this year.<\/p>\n

With his future sorted, Harrison remains excited at the heights the club can reach under Hannay’s guidance.<\/p>\n

\u201cI’ve loved this club since I was a little kid, and pulling on a Titans jersey is all I’ve ever wanted to do,\u201d Harrison said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI’m really excited about what Josh is building and the direction this team is heading. I want to be part of that, and it was important to me to stay here and build something with the club.<\/p>\n

\u201cI’m grateful for the faith the club has shown in me.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Titans have also got stars Jayden Campbell<\/a> and Keano Kini<\/a> locked up on long deals, building a core group of talent alongside pack leader Tino Fa’asuamaleaui<\/a> to guide Gold Coast back into finals contention in 2027.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Gold Coast Titans have announced the extension of promising young halfback Zane Harrison until the end of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":944933,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[568],"tags":[64,63,761,762,158,85],"class_list":["post-944932","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\/944932","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=944932"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/944932\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/944933"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=944932"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=944932"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=944932"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
