The Gold Coast Titans and Tweed Seagulls will continue their long-standing partnership, extending their affiliation agreement to the end of the 2027 season.
The two decade collaboration sees the two clubs support the development of local male talent with a clear pathway for aspiring players to progress from community rugby league through to the elite level.
Several Titans-contracted players are proud alum of the Seagulls, including Zane Harrison who steered Tweed to Mal Meninga Cup success in 2024 before going on to make his Hostplus Cup and NRL debuts; whilst Bodhi Sharpley followed in similar footsteps with his maiden NRL appearance in Round 24 this season.
Titans CEO Steve Mitchell said the ongoing relationship reflected both organisations' commitment to investing in the future of rugby league across the region.
"The Tweed Seagulls have been an important part of our pathways system and importantly, they share our belief in creating opportunities for local players to develop and succeed close to home," Mitchell said.
"Our partnership is about much more than simply providing a playing pathway. It is about working together to strengthen rugby league across the Gold Coast and Northern Rivers and ensuring our players have the support they need to thrive while they ply their craft in the QRL competitions.
"Tweed has a rich history of developing rugby league talent and remains a valued partner of the Titans. Several our current and future players are proud Seagulls and we look forward to continuing to build on that relationship and creating even more opportunities for the next generation."
Tweed Seagulls CEO Brendon Lindsay said the ongoing affiliation provided a strong connection between community rugby league and the NRL.
"The Titans have been our club's NRL affiliate since 2007 and continue to create genuine elite rugby league opportunities for our region as we notch up 20 years in partnership," Lindsay said.
"We have a responsibility to connect community rugby league with the highest level of our game, and our relationship with our local NRL club allows us to provide a strong and clearly defined pathway for talented male players from the Northern Rivers and Gold Coast.
"It is also important that we continue to develop the people around those players, particularly our coaches and support staff, so that the quality of rugby league throughout our catchment continues to grow.
"We’ve seen a number of players prosper with us before going on to become full-time contracted players at the Titans and we look forward to continuing that work in 2027 as we help more players take the next step in their rugby league journey."
