Kezie Apps has inked a long-term contract extension with the Wests Tigers, ensuring her presence at the club until the conclusion of 2029.
Regarded as one of the top talents in the NRLW since its establishment, the 34-year-old transitioned from the Dragons to the Tigers as they entered the competition two years ago.
Apps was appointed as the first captain of the team and has quickly made a significant impact both in gameplay and within the community at Concord.

“Since my arrival, this club has felt like home,” Apps remarked.
“I’m delighted to extend my contract and be part of something that’s developing so impressively. We have an incredible group of girls, a dedicated fan base, and a vision I genuinely believe in.
“I’m looking forward to what lies ahead and feel privileged to continue donning the Wests Tigers jersey.”
