Sydney Roosters backrower Aidan Guerra has agreed to an extension that will keep him at the club until the end of 2017.

26 year-old Guerra expressed his delight at extending his tenure with the foundation club.

“Playing for a club like the Roosters is an honour I don’t take lightly. This is a great club and I’m really happy that I’ll continue to represent the Roosters and be a part of this team over the next three years,” said Guerra.

2014 was a breakthrough year for the backrower who made his State of Origin debut for Queensland, and later made his Australian debut in the Four Nations tournament.

Roosters Recruitment Manager, Peter O’Sullivan, said: “Aidan made his NRL debut at the Roosters and has matured into a player chosen to represent his state and country.

“Aidan’s coming of age during this year’s Origin Series was a just reward for his dedication and hard work. He certainly brought that experience back to his club football, and we were proud to see him complete the year by making his Australian debut in the Four Nations.

“Committed, strong and talented, Aidan plays an important role within the team and it’s great to have secured his services until the end of 2017,” he added.

Guerra made his first grade debut with the Roosters against the South Sydney Rabbitohs in Round 1 of the 2010 season and has played 87 NRL games to date.
