The Newcastle Knights have announced back-rower Brodie Jones has signed a contract extension for a further two seasons with the club.

After playing just seven games in his first season, Jones has enjoyed a break-out season this year with a number of standout performances.

Jones said he's thrilled to stay with a club he has grown fond of.

"I’m very happy to have resigned for the club," Jones told the club's website.

"I love this Club, and this is where I want to be."

With his several strong performances this year in various positions, the 23-year-old has developed into quite the dependable player for coach Adam O'Brien.
