RUGBY LEAGUE: The QCCS Mackay Cutters have re-signed captain Tom Murphy and U20s star Kellen Jenner for next season.

Murphy signed with the Cutters half way through this season, earning his spot in the leadership squad almost straight away.

He has a wealth of experience playing and captaining two Intrust Super Cup clubs, the Sunshine Coast Falcons and Redcliffe Dolphins, along with NRL experience with Canterbury Bulldogs and a pre-season with Melbourne Storm.

At the moment, Murphy is sitting out with a shoulder injury but is expected to return to the field for the last home game and last round of the season on Saturday, August 26.

He has come through junior pathways playing for the Cutters U18s in 2016 and U20s in 2017.
