Ben Trbojevic will remain at Manly for a further season, inking a fresh one-year contract extension.

The youngest of the Trbojevic clan at the Sea Eagles has played 17 games for the club since debuting in 2021, showing his versatility both in the forwards and out wide.

The 21-year-old was elevated to the Manly top 30 roster last year and has featured in all three games for the side this year. 

Sea Eagles head coach Anthony Seibold believes the best is yet to come for Trbojevic.

“We’ve all seen the growth in Ben’s game as an edge back-rower in the trials and the first couple of rounds this season, so we wanted to reward him with a contract extension,’’ he said.

“I think Ben is only going to get better and better in establishing himself as a genuine first grade player.

“We are really pleased with his progress so far. Ben will continue to grow as a person and as a player over the next couple of seasons, so we want that to be with Manly.”

Older brothers Jake and Tom are both signed long-term with the club after signing on until the end of 2026. 

How many Trbojevic brothers are there?

There are currently three Trbojevic brothers playing in the NRL - Jake, Tom and Ben. They also have another younger brother Luke, who is not involved with the Sea Eagles. 

Tom and Jake Trbojevic have been a fixture of the Manly side for many years, as well as representing both NSW and Australia. 

How old is Ben Trbojevic?

The youngest of the Trbojevic brothers, Ben, is 21 years old and has played 17 NRL games to date since making his debut in 2021.
