‘Bright future ahead of him’: Bronson Xerri signs contract extension with Canterbury Bulldogs

Bronson Xerri has continued his redemption story, signing a two-year contract extension with the Canterbury Bulldogs.

The 24-year-old was banned for four years for doping as a teenager, threatening to derail his NRL career before it even got off the ground.

Canterbury opted to take a punt on the strike centre once his suspension was lifted and it paid off for both parties as the club returned to the finals.

Xerri finished his first season at Belmore with 10 tries and 39 tackle breaks, cementing himself as a first-choice centre for coach Cameron Ciraldo.

In a statement released on Thursday afternoon, Phil Gould said the “maturity and commitment” shown by Xerri had impressed the club.

“Bronson has quickly solidified himself as a key member of our squad moving forward,” the general manager of football said.

“Ever since he stepped foot into our club’s doors, he has shown great maturity and commitment to the Bulldog jersey.

“At 24 he still has plenty of rugby league ahead of him, and we believe he has a bright future ahead of him in our colours.”

Xerri’s new deal will see him remain in blue and white until the end of 2027.
