Elijah Taylor has re-signed with the Tigers until the end of 2020.

The Wests Tigers vice captain arrived at the club in mid-2016.

Taylor said that he was looking forward to the coming three years with Wests Tigers.

“It was definitely a decision that I took my time with as I’m getting older now but I’m really happy that it’s done now,” said Taylor. “Ivan coming in as head coach was a big factor in me deciding to stay.

“He’s an experienced coach and has coached me at both the Warriors and Penrith, he’s the reason I moved to Australia, knowing what kind of coach he is, what his principles are and the way he likes to play football was probably the biggest factor.

“We’re building a good culture here at Wests Tigers and I’m really looking forward to the next three years.”

Cleary said Taylor’s experience would be valuable to the club in the coming seasons.

"Elijah is a player that others love to play alongside,” he said. “No task is beneath him and he always puts the team before himself.

“Our fans can look forward to seeing Elijah's game blossom in the coming years, Elijah will play a pivotal role in the future of the Wests Tigers.”
