Manly Warringah Sea Eagles centre Tolutau Koula has signed a five-year contract extension in a major boost for the Club on the eve of the 2026 NRL Premiership.
The new long-term deal will keep the 23-year-old Tonga International on the Northern Beaches until at least the end of the 2031 season.
Koula, who is entering his fifth season with the Sea Eagles, scored 17 tries in 22 appearances last season and was named 2025 Roy Bull Player of the Year.
Coach Anthony Seibold says this is great news for Tolu, his family, and the Club.
“Tolu's form last year was simply outstanding and deservedly so he was our Player of the Year,” Seibold said.
“In the three years that I've coached Tolu, I've seen a guy who has obviously got great athletic ability, but his consistency, his efforts at training, and his ability to break tackles has been there for all to see.
“Tolu is a very humble guy who has real passion for the Club. He is among a group of players who are the future of the Club.
I feel like Tolu’s best football is in front him and that he can become one of the game’s most elite outside backs.
Anthony Seibold Sea Eagles Head Coach
“We are all thrilled he has committed long term.”
Koula made his NRL debut with Manly in 2022 and has since scored 38 tries in 82 appearances.
The Sea Eagles kick off the 2026 Telstra NRL Premiership at 4 Pines Park against the Canberra Raiders on Saturday 7 March.
