Twal extends contract at Wests Tigers
Wests Tigers is delighted to announce that Alex Twal has signed a new long-term contract to extend his future at the club.
Already contracted for the 2024 season, the new three-year deal will see Twal remain in Wests Tigers colours until at least the end of the 2027 NRL season.
The 27-year-old prop made his NRL debut with Wests Tigers in Round 17 of the 2017 season and has made 124 appearances for the club in seven seasons.
He ended a 115-game try-scoring drought this season, crossing for his very first NRL try in Round 16 against Melbourne Storm.
The wild celebrations at Campbelltown Sports Stadium went viral, further endearing the Lebanon international to Wests Tigers members and fans.
Entering his eighth season at the club, Twal says he’s excited about the years ahead.
“This club means so much to me and I’m just so happy to extend my stay long-term,” said Twal.
I made my NRL debut here at Wests Tigers and it feels like family.

“We have so much still to achieve as a club and a team, and so do I as a player. I can’t wait to put 2023 behind us and rip into pre-season training in a few weeks.”
Head Coach Benji Marshall believes Twal’s consistency is a key asset to the team.
“He works hard, prepares well, and delivers consistently week in, week out," said Marshall.
He is a big part of the Wests Tigers family, and we love his commitment and loyalty to our club.

“It’s great to have Alex here for the long haul and we can’t wait to see him continue to improve his footy here at Wests Tigers.”
CEO, Justin Pascoe says Twal has proven himself on and off the field for many years.
“We’re delighted to lock in a new long-term deal with Alex and his family,” said Pascoe.
“This new contract will see Alex join a select group of players to play for a decade or more at Wests Tigers. That speaks volumes.”
Wests Tigers 2024 Memberships will go on sale on Monday 23rd October.
