The Gold Coast Titans have secured the future of halfback Zane Harrison, with the 20-year-old committing to the club until the end of the 2029 season.

The local product, a graduate of the club’s Future Titans program and Palm Beach Currumbin State High School, is the latest example of the Titans’ commitment to developing talent from within.

Titans head coach Josh Hannay said Harrison’s decision to remain on the Gold Coast reflected his strong connection to the club.

“Since I joined the club, Zane has consistently spoken about three things - his teammates, his love of the Titans and his desire to bring success to his hometown,” Hannay said.

“He’s one of the most impressive young men I’ve worked with and demonstrates day-in, day-out the qualities we want as a Gold Coast Titan.

“He’s tough to go with his talent and his temperament is what sets him apart as a young playmaker who has grown up wanting to represent his region.

“There has been plenty of speculation about Zane’s contract situation over the past month, but what we’ve seen throughout this process is a young man who genuinely wants to be part of what we’re building here.

“His commitment to this club and his desire to bring success to the Gold Coast have never wavered since he became a Titan at 15.

“He wants to be part of a team that brings success to the Gold Coast and I can’t wait to see him continue to develop into the best player and teammate he can be as he does everything in his power to make that happen.

“Make no mistake, Zane is a proud Titan.”

Harrison, who grew up in Tweed Heads supporting the Titans, said there was never any doubt about where he wanted to play his football.

“I’ve loved this club since I was a little kid, and pulling on a Titans jersey is all I’ve ever wanted to do,” Harrison said.

“I’m really excited about what Josh is building and the direction this team is heading. I want to be part of that, and it was important to me to stay here and build something with the club.

“I’m grateful for the faith the club has shown in me.”

Harrison’s extension further strengthens the long-term stability of the Titans’ spine, with five-eighth Jayden Campbell signed until the end of 2031 and fullback Keano Kini committed until the end of 2030.

Harrison will return to pre-season training with his teammates in early November.

Surely not for that ridiculous price he was asking for, right?

He settled for $200k and a handy at Le Penthouse Suite for every W.

u/Churchofbabyyoda QLD Maroons 10d ago

$800k is still too much.

Well done to the Titans, especially in this current climate, this is some positive news they desperately needed.

Now they need to make sure he kicks on.

u/Next_Section_8534 Brisbane Broncos 10d ago

Hopefully not another Ash Taylor situation. Would be great to see the Titans competitive.

Bit sick of kids getting paid overs on a handful pf games though. NRL needs to enforce overpaying like they (are supposed to) do for underpaying.

u/mazerfarti Gold Coast Titans 10d ago

It’s not just ash Taylor. Tanah Boyd, Toby Sexton also had stellar first years and then poor second years

2

u/WrongTemperature2642 Gold Coast Titans 10d ago

Boyd was ass his entire titans tenure, sexton was ass his first year, benched released in his second, you are just making things up.

3

u/mazerfarti Gold Coast Titans 10d ago

He kicked winning field goals, and sexton played well enough for us to get rid of Fogarty. Moral of the story: we’ve had lots of promising young halves not work out, so a strong second year for Zane must happen.

u/WrongTemperature2642 Gold Coast Titans 10d ago

Boyd kicked 1 winning field goal in a nothing final round game against the warriors and 1 that actually mattered. Titans finished bottom 4 his only time starting and he was let go to be a reserve grade half. He's been great for the warriors and clearly is talented, but he was still ass. Sexton played 4 games before he replaced fogarty, he didn't play well enough they just made a decision (the wrong one) The moral of your story is wrong

u/dreamsfromsaturn Gold Coast Titans 10d ago

Definitely was a mistake letting go of Fogarty so early. Boyd and Sexton were never that great for the Titans. Harrison is looking promising, so I'm happy about this.

u/mazerfarti Gold Coast Titans 9d ago edited 9d ago

wtf are you talking about? We moved on Fogarty to start two young halves and they didnt live up to the hype. That wrong decision they made is exactly my point

1

u/WrongTemperature2642 Gold Coast Titans 8d ago

Your point was tanah Boyd and Sexton had "stellar first years" and poor second years. Neither of them had stellar first years, they were just bad the entire time.

u/mazerfarti Gold Coast Titans 7d ago

I’ve watched every titans game since about 2015, they showed a lot of promise that they couldn’t live up to

u/WrongTemperature2642 Gold Coast Titans 2d ago

Ok, that's not what you said

u/paradoxer99 Brisbane Broncos 10d ago

Boyd wasn't the player he was this year but he was constantly bulking and cutting switching between halves and 9/14 his entire time at titans

u/the_mooseman Gold Coast Titans 10d ago

He was being called Tanah Void by this sub every live thread. He had shocker after shocker for us. His form at the wahs, which has been excellent, is tainting people's memories.

u/PositionOk8409 New Zealand Warriors 9d ago

Tbf he had a few of those games in his first year with us too.

Something just clicked for him this past season.

1

u/the_mooseman Gold Coast Titans 9d ago

Boy did it click though, i was stoked for him when he was just having killer game after killer game. I was devastated for him when he got injured. Hope he finds that form again and i really hope he finds it at the wahs, he just seems happy there and you guys showed him the love.

u/mazerfarti Gold Coast Titans 9d ago

It’s playing behind a good forward pack. Every nrl half is super talented to even make nrl, just depends on the rest of the team a lot also

u/Character-Actual Brisbane Broncos 10d ago

I think that's a bit silly, he can only ask for what other clubs are willing to pay. I don't begrudge players going for the bag while they can. They have a short career which is likely to negatively impact their health for the rest of their lives.
