"Panthers is proud of the strong relationship it has built with Bathurst Regional Council and the local community," Panthers Group CEO Brian Fletcher said.

"The support we receive when the team takes the field at Carrington Park is outstanding and we can't wait to bring the NRL back to Bathurst in 2019.

"However it is important to note our long-term commitment to Bathurst is about much more than simply playing an annual NRL fixture.

"Our club is passionate about working with Country Rugby League to support the growth of the game in central west NSW.

"Through the Panthers Regional Academy Program, our club provides junior league coaching clinics and Panthers coaching programs in support of the Western Rams representative teams.

"This year Panthers also took the historic step of entering teams in the Southern Conference of the 2018 Country Championships.

"It is our intention to improve and expand these programs and initiatives over the years ahead."
