Newcastle Red Bulls captain George McGuigan has signed a 12-month contract extension.

The 32-year-old hooker returned to the club for a third spell on a one-year deal in July 2025.

He has scored 52 tries in 179 appearances for the Prem side.

"It was an easy decision because this is such an exciting period for the club, and it is not somewhere I ever really wanted to leave," he told the club website., external
