Front-rower Thomas Burgess has signed a new contract with South Sydney Rabbitohs, it was announced on Wednesday.

The extension will see 26-year-old England international Burgess remain at South Sydney until the end of the 2023 NRL season.

Burgess – a member of the 2014 Premiership-winning side – has made 119 appearances since joining the Rabbitohs from Super League outfit Bradford Bulls in 2013.

"Souths are all I've known and I'm really pumped to be signed up long term now," said Burgess, who plays alongside brothers Sam and George at South Sydney.

"The club gave me a chance when I came to Australia for the first time, a 20-year-old young lad, not knowing what to expect. Now six or seven years down the track, I'm still enjoying my football here.

"I love calling Sydney home and I wouldn't want to play anywhere else in the NRL than with the Rabbitohs.

"To play my 100th game with Souths last year was really significant for me, but now it's about quality rather than quantity and I want to play my best each week.

"I'm looking forward to getting out there and performing for the members. They are the cornerstone of our club and without them, the club wouldn't be in the position it's in today.

"I'm really looking forward to the seasons ahead and wearing that famous Red and Green jersey."
