England international Tom Burgess has signed a new deal with the South Sydney Rabbitohs which ties him to the NRL club until the end of the 2016 season.
The 22-year-old, who has played alongside brothers Sam, George and Luke during his time with the Rabbitohs, won the NRL Grand Final in just his second season.
"I'm really excited about signing on for another year with the Rabbitohs," the former Bradford Bulls prop said.
"I'm really enjoying my time with the club. We've got a great set of lads here, and in the end the decision to stay is what I think is best for my career.
"I want to create more memories at this club and I'm really looking forward to what's ahead, starting with the game against the (North Queensland) Cowboys this Monday night."
The Rabbitohs have also extended the contract of another prop, David Tyrrell, and coach Michael Maguire said: "This is great news for us as a club and we're all very happy to know that Dave and Tom will be with us for an extended period.
"Tom is improving in his game every week and is proving to be a valuable member of our forward rotation in the middle of the field. Both Dave and Tom are great characters to have around the team and represent us well on and off the field."
