The Bulldogs have held off rival clubs to lock down star forward Viliame Kikau through to the end of the 2028 season.

The Fijian powerhouse was initially contracted for the 2026 campaign and was in high demand before signing a two-year extension to remain at Canterbury.

Kikau has played a key role in the club’s rise to a premiership contender and is desperate to help the Bulldogs win their first title since 2004.

“I’m very happy to be staying at the Bulldogs,” he said.

“This club has embraced my family and I since day one so it was an easy decision to re-sign.

“I love being part of what we’re building here. We’ve made great progress over the past couple of years, but we want to achieve more – I want to help this club win its next premiership,” he said.
