Penrith halfback Nathan Cleary says he will "definitely consider" a career-long deal if offered one by the Panthers, and has laughed off suggestions he will eventually join his dad Ivan at the Tigers.

The 19-year-old rising star, who signed a contract extension tying him to the Panthers until the end of 2019, has impressed club boss Phil Gould.

So much so the Penrith supremo has sparked the idea of making the young NRL star a one-club player in an interview, but the halfback says he isn't getting ahead of himself and is just focused on improving his game.

"If he (Gould) does offer that then I will definitely consider it," Cleary told Big Sports Breakfast on Tuesday.

"It is a pretty big honour for someone like him to say that, but I haven't thought too much about that at the moment.

"I am just focused on playing good footy for the Panthers."

Ivan Cleary recently signed a three-and-a-half year deal to coach the Tigers until the end of the 2020 NRL season in April, having last coached at the Panthers in 2015.

Nathan last year opted against activating a father-son get out clause which would have allowed him to leave the Panthers after Ivan was replaced by Anthony Griffin following the 2015 season.

Nathan says not much has changed at home between the two.

"We still talk about footy in general, we always have," he said.

"It isn't really any different now that he is at the Tigers. It is a bit weird but it is pretty cool to have two perspectives from each club."

The pair will come head to head in round 22 when the Panthers host the West Tigers at Pepper Stadium.
