Foran to play into 17th NRL season with new Titans deal

Scott Bailey | July 10, 2024

Gold Coast have put to bed any questions over Kieran Foran’s future, re-signing the veteran half on a one-year deal.

Days after Foran made it clear publicly he still wanted to play on beyond this year, the 33-year-old locked in his future at the Titans for next season.

The deal means Foran’s career will extend into a 17th NRL campaign, joining St George Illawarra’s Ben Hunt as the only player still left from the 2000s decade contracted for 2025.

The feat is even more remarkable when considering the time Foran spent sidelined through the middle of his career, as he battled multiple long-term injuries.

“Having been around the game for a long time, I know that we’ve got something good growing here … and I’m keen to play on into next season,” Foran said.

“My body is feeling good, and I feel like I’ve played some good football this season so far and while that’s the case, I’m keen to push on for another year.

“I’m grateful for the opportunity and I’m really enjoying my time on the Gold Coast, so it was a simple decision for me in the end.”

Foran re-signing means the Titans will have decisions to make in their halves next year, given he has been the one constant at No.7 this season.

Des Hasler is set to make a call as soon as this week on the make up of his spine, with Keano Kini at fullback, Jayden Campbell at No.6 and AJ Brimson a chance of returning from injury.

Wallabies No.10 Carter Gordon will also be thrown into the mix from next year, where it is expected he too could be best suited to the five-eighth role.
