Sea Eagles sign exciting young half Joey Walsh​

Manly Warringah Sea Eagles have signed one of the most exciting young playmakers in the country in half Joey Walsh.
A Northern Beaches boy who attends St Augustine’s College, Brookvale, Walsh has signed a three-year deal with the Sea Eagles from 2025.

Walsh hails from the Narraweena Hawks Club in the Manly District Junior Rugby League.
Manly Coach Anthony Seibold said the club had been tracking Walsh for quite some time.

“Joey has been an elite player at schoolboy level. He was the Australian U18s rugby flyhalf and captain last year,’’ Seibold said.

“We wanted to sign what we feel is one of the really elite young playmakers in either code.
“Joey was highly sought after by the Australian Rugby Union and other NRL clubs.
“He played junior rugby league in the Sydney Roosters system, so he has been playing both codes at a high level for a number of years.

“We are very pleased to give Joey an opportunity to come into our squad and to be able to learn from experienced NRL players like Daly Cherry-Evans, Tom Trbojevic and Luke Brooks."

Kieran Foran will prolong his NRL career for at least another season, with the Titans playmaker agreeing to a one-year extension with the club.

The 33-year-old is one of the most experienced halves in the competition and will likely bring up his 300-game milestone before the end of this year.

Foran was off-contract heading into 2025, but after some strong performances in recent weeks, Gold Coast officials swiftly moved to keep him on deck.

Was mentioned in some article in the Daily Telecrap not long ago as one of the best junior prospects in the country. Will see if I can find the article. Top 30 for him that soon must mean the club sees something strong in him.

Matty Nicholson another Pommy backrower coming to Canberra in 2025.
Only 20yo (or 21), but an outstanding prospect....maybe Manly could look outside Oz as the Poms have some decent players and Canberra in particular have had success with them.
