The Titans have welcomed Tino Fa’asuamaleaui’s decision to secure his playing future on the Gold Coast until at least the end of the 2030 season.
His confirmation sees the Maroons and Kangaroos prop joining the likes of Keano Kini, AJ Brimson, Jayden Campbell and Beau Fermor who have committed long-term in a bid to bring premiership success to the region under new coach Josh Hannay.
"I’m delighted Tino has committed his future here at the Titans," Hannay said.
"In all my discussions with him, he has always been consistent with his love for the Titans, a love for his teammates, a passion for our community and a desire to help this club be successful.
"We also spoke on developing an environment and a football program that he and our entire club are proud of and want to be part of.
"We’ve been cognisant of the fact this can take some time and I’m glad he’s had the opportunity to fully immerse himself with the changes we’ve made since returning from representative duties in December.
"He’s one of the best front rowers in the game who’s still yet to hit his ceiling. He’s also one of our core leaders and joins representative forwards Moeaki Fotuaika and Beau Fermor in collectively developing our emerging forwards.
"I know how much he loves the club and I’m glad he’s here for the long haul as an important cog to us achieving sustained success."

This season will be Fa’asuamaleaui’s sixth as a Titan since joining in 2021, set to notch up his 100th game in Gold Coast colours later this year after beginning his career with the Storm.
"The Titans mean a lot to me and my family, and my goal has never changed since coming to the club... I want to remain loyal and be part of the team that delivers premiership success to the Gold Coast," Fa’asuamaleaui said.
"To achieve that, I want to do everything I can to build a winning culture and that’s why I’ve put to bed all the speculation around my future before we start the season.
"I’m fully committed to the Titans and genuinely believe we have so much potential with the long-term playing roster we’re assembling and Josh at the helm.
"I’ve particularly enjoyed the environment he’s created since returning to pre-season training, especially his emphasis on our connection with just not ourselves as a playing group, but also to our wider staff, members and community.
"Being part of this club is a huge honour and I’m excited about what lies ahead as we continue our pursuit of NRL premiership success."
