RL:Bulldogs winger announces NRL retirement

Canterbury winger Marcelo Montoya will retire from the NRL at the end of this season.

Fiji international Montoya, who is in the last year of his contract, has played 162 NRL games to date, 80 of those across two separate stints with the Bulldogs.

The 30-year-old returned to his junior club in 2025 after four years with the Warriors but has had an inconsistent season at the 12th-placed Bulldogs.

"I started my career here so it feels right to also finish it as a Bulldog," Montoya said in a statement.

"While I'm excited for the next chapter, I'm 100 per cent focused on finishing this season off strongly and hopefully doing something special with my brothers."

Bankstown Bulls junior Montoya began his NRL career with the Bulldogs in 2017, scoring a try on debut in a win over the Warriors.
