In a blockbuster move that has stunned the rugby league world, Penrith Panthers superstar Nathan Cleary has renewed his contract in a historic deal reportedly worth $1.8 million per season, potentially keeping him at the club through 2030. The announcement was confirmed by ESPN late Sunday, with sources revealing that Cleary’s new deal makes him the highest-paid figure in the NRL—not as a player, but as a coach.

 

Cleary, who has already cemented his legacy with multiple premierships as a player, recently transitioned into a player-coach role before officially stepping into full-time coaching responsibilities. His leadership, tactical brilliance, and deep connection with the Panthers organization made him the ideal long-term figure to guide the club’s future.

 

“This club is my home,” Cleary stated. “It’s an honor to lead the next generation and continue building on what we’ve started.”

 

The $1.8 million per year deal eclipses all current coaching contracts in the league, highlighting the club’s confidence in Cleary’s vision. Fans and analysts alike are calling the move bold but justified, given his impact on and off the field. The Panthers are clearly betting on greatness for years to come.
