I don’t really see myself playing anywhere else. My heart is here at Souths.

“Keaon is a very exciting, young talent and we’re very happy to have him on board long term,” Mr Ellison said.

“One of the highlights of 2020 was seeing him make his debut and, more importantly, work hard to maintain his spot in the top 17 over the rest of the season.

“Keaon is a fine young man from a great family, is a proud product of the South Sydney Juniors system, and we’re really excited to see him progress to greater things throughout his career in the red and green.”
