Rabbitohs extend contract of Liam Le Blanc for Season 2026
The South Sydney Rabbitohs are delighted to announce the contract extension of middle forward Liam Le Blanc for the 2026 season today.
Le Blanc, 20, has played eight NRL games since making his debut for the Rabbitohs against the Sea Eagles in round 16, 2024. Le Blanc represented the Australian Schoolboys in 2022 and also represented Queensland Schoolboys in the same season.
“Liam, at the age of just 20, has shown that he has the professionalism, the ability and the hunger to play at the NRL level,” Mr Ellison said.
“He signed with us in 2022, at the same time as his teammates Jye Gray and Tyrone Munro, and he has worked very hard to earn his first-grade debut, his subsequent NRL games and this contract extension.
“This new contract will see him upgraded next year from a supplementary contract to an NRL Top 30 contract, and we look forward to watching him continue to improve and develop his game in the red and green of South Sydney.”
