The nib Newcastle Knights have extended the National Rugby League playing contract of local young gun Fletcher Sharpe and signed Fijian flyer Laitia Moceidreke to a full time NRL Development contract.

nib Newcastle Knights Director of Football Peter Parr said Sharpe has a bright future ahead.
“We believe Fletcher is a long term NRL player in the making and we are delighted he has committed to an extension of his contract," Parr said.
“Fletcher is a home-grown player who has progressed through our Pathways systems, and we are excited for the next phase of his career.”
Moceidreke, 23, joined the Knights mid-season 2023, standing at an imposing 197cms (6 ft 6 in).
