Storm captain Harry Grant has taken up his player option to stay in Melbourne until the end of the 2026 NRL season.
The two-time Dally M Hooker of the Year made his debut for Melbourne in 2018 and has now played 101 NRL games, including 86 for Storm.
In his first year of captaincy, the 26-year-old led Storm to the 2024 NRL minor premiership and the grand final.
“It’s been an incredible year for the club and I’m looking forward to seeing what we can do together over the next few years,” Grant said.
“It wasn’t a hard decision to make given the club has put trust in me with the captaincy this season. We have a lot of natural leaders in the squad too which helps both on and off the field. The potential and depth of our roster really excites me.”
The Eels have announced that Fijian star Maika Sivo has been granted a release from his contract for the 2025 season to pursue opportunities that will allow him to further his career elsewhere.
