Talented young gun Mitchell Woods has confirmed his future, signing a long-term, four-year contract extension with the Canterbury Bulldogs.
The youngster’s deal will see him train with a fulltime deal at the Bulldogs during 2024 as part of his development contract, before moving into the Top 30 from the start of the 2025 season, where he will remain for three years.
Under a development deal, Woods will be eligible for junior competitions, including the SG Ball (under-19) and Jersey Flegg (under-21), as well as the NSW Cup, as well as the NRL from Round 1, with rules changes under the latest collective bargaining agreement. Development deals are also now called suplementary deals.
He eventually elected to sign with the Bulldogs and switch permanently to rugby league though, having captained the club’s Harold Matthews Cup (under-17) side in 2023.
He also has excelled in rugby union.
Woods is a halfback, and won player of the match honours in this year’s Harold Matthews Cup grand final.
