How to tune into Sport Nation'Incredibly proud': Tedesco set to be a Rooster for life
Sam Kosack • November 20th, 2025 2:16 pm
The Sydney Roosters have secured a major coup with Dally M medalist James Tedesco signing a one-year extension.
Initially contracted until the end of 2026, Tedesco will now stay with the Tricolours until the end of 2027.
The extension means the 2025 Dally M winner will likely finish his career at the Sydney Roosters.
The Roosters’ fullback currently sits third all-time among most games as captain for the Sydney Roosters and is showing no signs of slowing down after a standout 2025 season.
Tedesco said he was excited to be continuing his time at the Roosters.
“I’m incredibly proud to represent this Club and to continue leading a group of players who mean so much to me,” Tedesco said.
“The Roosters have played a huge role in my career and my life. Working with (Trent Robinson) has pushed me to become a better player and person, and I’m grateful for the belief he’s always shown in me.
“I know we have a lot more to achieve together, and I’m excited for what’s still to come with this group. I’m committed to doing everything I can to help us get there.”
Tedesco scored 11 tries in 2025 on his way to a second Dally M medal.
