Titans secure homegrown talent for future

The Gold Coast Titans have bolstered their squads for the coming years by upgrading three Future Titans for 2023 and beyond.

Jaylan De Groot, Ben Liyou and Ryan Foran will all join the main squad on a train-and-trial deal with the three Gold Coast juniors to then commence on a full-time basis from 2024.

Forwards Liyou and Foran will form part of the club’s top 30 roster in 2024; meanwhile, talented back De Groot joins the Titans’ development list after his first full year year at Parkwood.

The trio have been impressive for the Tweed Seagulls in this year's QRL competitions and Titans coach Justin Holbrook is thrilled to have the three youngsters part of the Gold Coast squad for the coming years.

“It’s great to have Jaylan, Ben and Ryan join us from 2023," Holbrook said.

"All three have come through the Future Titans program and are a testament to the talent on the Gold Coast that is coming through our pathways.

“Both Jaylan and Ben made an impact in our trial match earlier this season and Ryan has gone from strength to strength since being named an Australian Schoolboy in 2021.

"Their progress through our pathways will make our communities proud, which is a core purpose of our organisation."

The news follows this week's signing of Sam Verrills for the next two seasons and Erin Clark extending with the Titans until the end of 2025.
