The Titans are pleased to congratulate Shannon Mato and her partner after announcing they'll be expecting their first child together this year.
The exciting news will result in the Gold Coast forward missing the 2025 NRLW season, but is expected to return next year.
Mato will join Evania Isa'ako (née Pelite) on the sidelines after the Titans fullback also shared similar news last week, but the experienced duo will still play vital roles for the club this season.
"It's an exciting time for Shannon and her family and on behalf of the Titans, I'd like to congratulate her and her partner on the special news," coach Karyn Murphy said.
"Much like Vani, we're really excited to support Shan and her family during this exciting time of her life as family is a big part of what we're about here at the Titans.
"She'll also still play a big part of our 2025 campaign as a mentor for our squad, and she'll continue her work with our female academies and in the Gold Coast community, which she did alongside her playing commitments last season."
