Rabbitohs re-sign Latrell Mitchell and Cody Walker
South Sydney Rabbitohs have re-signed Latrell Mitchell and Cody Walker. Mitchell has re-signed until at least the end of the 2027 season and Walker has re-signed until at least the end of the 2025 season.
“I’m so happy to have found my home here at South Sydney,” Mitchell said.
“It really does feel like family here and I know my partner Brielle and our girls feel the same. I’ve had opportunities here that I would never have had at other clubs, and we have more opportunities ahead of us in the future.
“I know I can express myself here, on and off the field, and I’m supported by everyone from the Club and the communities we represent.
“It’s an honour and a privilege to represent Souths and I’m so excited about what we can all achieve together in the coming years.”
“This place has become home to me and my boys. We’re all able to be active in our community and to have a voice on things that are important to us.
“My best football has been played here and I reckon I can go further over the next three years and help this Club win its next premiership.
“We’ve had some success over the past few years, but we need to take that next step and I truly believe we can do that with the squad, coaches and staff that we have here.
“The Rabbitohs mean so much to so many people and it’s fantastic to represent the Club and our people every time we pull on the jersey.”
“These two men are wonderful re-signings for our Club, both leaders within our group, and I can’t wait to see what they can produce in the coming years,” Mr Ellison said.
“Latrell is one of the best players in our game, that is without doubt.
“His presence and the influence he can have on any game or any situation is matched by his presence and influence he has off the field, in both the Aboriginal community and broader society.
“Latrell has grown to become a leader at our Club, amongst the players in the NRL, and within his community, and he has become a key contributor to the outstanding community work conducted by Souths Cares. When he speaks, people listen, both on the field and off it.
“He is a superstar of our game and we think his best football is still in front of him. He works very hard on his game and we think he can go to further levels here in the cardinal and myrtle of the Rabbitohs.
“Latrell and his family have found their home here at South Sydney and we could not be more delighted to have secured his services for a further four years.
“Cody started his NRL career later than most, making his debut at the age of 26, but hasn’t he made up for lost time!
“He is one of the most naturally talented players in the game today and he’s not slowing down. His footwork and sleight of hand is second-to-none and he is a leader amongst his Rabbitohs teammates.
“Equally as impressive is his work in the community, particularly with Souths Cares and other Aboriginal charities. He is always one of the first to put his hand up to help people and it shows great character to be able to give your time and assistance to those less fortunate.
“He has become a powerful voice in the game for Indigenous issues and is regarded as a leader amongst his peers. He is someone everyone wants to play with and you can’t get a bigger rap than that in the game.
“We’ve watched Cody mature during his time at the Rabbitohs, we’ve seen him become a doting dad to his boys Kyan and Kade. He is a special person and it’s a pleasure to work with him every day.
“We’re all very excited to have extended the contracts of these two men and we look forward to working closely with them on and off the field in the coming years.”
