Bulldogs Sign Leo Thompson for 2026

The Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs have secured one of the game's premier front-rowers, with New Zealand powerhouse Leo Thompson committing to a four-year deal from 2026.

The 24-year-old has built a reputation as one of rugby league's most dynamic and consistent forwards, known for his explosive carries and defensive prowess.

Out of respect for Leo, the Newcastle Knights and their fans, the Club will not be making any further comment until next off-season.

We look forward to welcoming Leo and his family to the Bulldogs in 2026.
