The Warriors have tied down one of the breakout players of 2026, signing Jackson Ford to a new two-year contract extension. Ford's deal comes as Loko Jnr Pasifiki Tonga officially closes a chapter on his demands for an early release by re-signing with St George Illawarra. Jackson Ford will play at least another three seasons for the Kiwi club after impressing in 2026. Pasifiki Tonga has played 13 games this season and been elevated to a starting front-row berth under Young.
