Rabbitohs re-sign Damien Cook
South Sydney Rabbitohs have re-signed Damien Cook for an additional 2 years, which will see him at the club until at least the end of the 2025 season.
“This Club is also part of my family. I’ve married my wife Courtney whilst here at Souths, we’ve had our two kids whilst being here too, and during some tough times in recent years the Rabbitohs could not have done more to look after our families and keep us connected throughout that time.
“I feel like my teammates, the coaches and the staff are part of my extended family and that’s why we’ve had some success in recent years.
“In saying that, we haven’t achieved what we have set out to achieve just yet and I think we have the team and support to win the 22nd premiership for the Rabbitohs in the next few years.
“We’re all focussed on that goal and I’m really excited about having the chance to play my role in achieving that for our team, our Club and our Members.”
“It is fantastic to know that Damien will be part of our squad for the next three seasons,” Mr Ellison said.
“Every day he shows the young players in our squad what it takes to represent the Rabbitohs in the NRL, as well as what it takes to achieve higher honours such as playing for your state and your country.
“He continues to learn the intricacies of dummy half play and he is one of the most influential players in our squad.
“We have some very talented hookers coming through at our Club and his leadership and guidance will be invaluable to them over the next few years.
“We’ve seen Damien grow as a man whilst he’s been at the Rabbitohs. He is a committed father to Willow and Jagger, and this was recognised with his Sports Dad of the Year award this year.
“We’re all very excited to be extending his time with us and we look forward to working closely with him on winning another premiership for the Rabbitohs.”
