Panthers forward Liam Martin has penned a contract extension with Penrith until the end of the 2023 season, per penrithpanthers.com.au.
The 23-year-old will remain with the club for a further three years after first joining Penrith in 2015 through their SG Ball squad in 2015.
Martin said he was excited to be given the opportunity to extend his stay with the club.
โIโm really grateful and excited to know Iโll be at Panthers for the next few years,โ he said.
โWhen the opportunity came up to extend my deal, I didnโt have to think about it for very long.
โPenrith is my second home now and I want to be at this club for a long time.โ
Penrith general manager Matt Cameron said Martin's rise has been astronomical.
โLike so many players in our current NRL squad, Liam has come through our junior development system and impressed at every level,โ Cameron said.
โHe was given an opportunity in the starting side this season and there is no question he has taken that opportunity with both hands.
โWe all look forward to watching him realise his full potential as he continues his journey in Panthers colours.โ
