Penrith Panthers is delighted to announce Jarome Luai has agreed to a two-year contract extension with the club.
The new deal means the 21-year-old playmaker will remain with Panthers until at least the end of the 2021 season.
"I feel blessed to re-sign with Panthers because Penrith is my home," Luai said.
"It was an easy decision for me as I've come through the Panthers system with so many of the players here and we're basically a family.
"A lot of us have kids as well so to watch them grow up together will be special.
"I'm grateful to have the opportunity to work with the likes of Nathan Cleary and James Maloney as I continue to improve my game."

A local St Marys junior, Luai progressed through the junior development pathways at Panthers and was a member of the premiership-winning Panthers NYC side in 2015.
In 2017 he captained the Junior Kiwis and later made his international debut for Samoa at the Rugby League World Cup.
Luai's NRL debut came against Newcastle in Round 10 last season before he lit up Panthers Stadium with two tries in a man-of-the-match performance against New Zealand Warriors.

"We were thrilled when he got his opportunity to play NRL in 2018 and no one was surprised at the impact he made.
"We are delighted he has extended his contract with Panthers and we look forward to watching his development over the next three seasons."
