Manly's heart-and-soul vice-captain Jake Trbojevic will play on at the NRL club in 2027 after triggering his contract option.
Speculation had swirled over the eldest of the Trbojevic brothers' future after a series of concussions last season, and a downturn in form to begin the year.
The club initially set round 10 as a deadline for Trbojevic to take up his contract option for a one-year extension, before granting him more time to come to a decision.
Trbojevic celebrated his 250th game for Manly against Brisbane in round 10 and has enjoyed a much more productive two months since Kieran Foran became interim coach.
The 32-year-old middle forward is currently captaining the Sea Eagles in the absence of injured brother Tom.
