The Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs are thrilled to announce the contract extension of local junior Bailey Hayward until the end of the 2028 season.
Initially extending his contract until the end of 2026 earlier in the year, the 24-year-old has since committed to a further two seasons.
A star of the Club’s Pathways, which saw him Captain the Jersey Flegg Cup team and named Player of the Year in 2022, Hayward has since established himself as a key member of the NRL side since his debut in 2024.
Ahead of his 100th Club game this weekend, Hayward has played all 20 NRL matches for the Bulldogs this season.
General Manager of Football Phil Gould was thrilled to have Hayward’s signature for a further three years.
“We’re extremely happy to have Bailey extend his time at the Club,” Gould said.
He has shown an innate ability to play in multiple positions, and we have a clear vision for him to become a leader in our side.
"He is a local junior, he bleeds Blue and White and we are very lucky to have him at our Club.”
