QLT extends Sheffield stay

Sheffield full-back Quentin Laulu-Togagae has signed a new two-year contract extension, keeping him at the club until the end of 2016.

QLT, 28, has turned down offers from elsewhere to stay at the club he joined back in 2011 from the South Logan Magpies.

He said: “I’ve really enjoyed my first few years here in Sheffield. Winning the Grand Final last year was great and I hope I can help bring some more silverware to the club.

“I did get offers elsewhere but my family has settled in well, there is a great squad and I’m really enjoying my rugby at the moment.”

The Samoan international broke the club’s tries in a season record last year, scoring 35 tries, as the Eagles claimed the Championship title.

Head Coach Mark Aston said: “It’s fantastic Q has agreed to stay at the club. He’s got a great attacking flair which is the way we like to play, fast open free flowing rugby and he causes problems for many defences.

“Q has been linked with a Super League club this season so it’s testament to the work we do and setup we have here.

“Q is a family man and a great character to have around at the club. He does some great work coaching in the community and I’m highly delighted he’ll be staying here for the next 3 years.”

Sheffield are still without a home for next season, after they played their final game at the soon to be closed Don Valley Stadium last weekend.
