Sea Eagles sign Dockar-Clay on one-year deal

Manly Warringah Sea Eagles are pleased to confirm the signing of Zach Dockar-Clay ahead of the 2026 NRL season.

The 30-year-old hooker reunites with the Club on a one-year deal after playing the past two seasons with the Sydney Roosters.

Dockar-Clay has made 36 appearances in the NRL since making his debut as a 27-year-old with Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs in 2022.

A Māori All Stars representative, Zach has also played 142 games in reserve grade over the past decade.

This new deal sees Dockar-Clay return to the Northern Beaches where he captained the Blacktown Workers Sea Eagles in the NSW Cup in 2019.

Sea Eagles coach Anthony Seibold says Dockar-Clay will provide depth in a key position.

Zach returns to the Club a vastly more experienced player having being an integral part of the Roosters NRL team the last two seasons.

“He also comes to us with the experience of being in the winning New Zealand test squad for this year’s Pacific Championships.

“Zach will give us depth at hooker and being able to play multiple positions has utility value off the bench.

“We look forward to Zach joining us, competing hard and adding to our squad.”

Dockar-Clay will join his new teammates for pre-season training later this month.
