Jamie Humphreys has re-signed with the South Sydney Rabbitohs for the 2027 and 2028 seasons, ending months of uncertainty over the utility’s future.
The Rabbitohs confirmed the two-year extension in a club statement, with the 24-year-old saying he was “stoked” to stay at the club.
Humphreys was heavily linked to the Perth Bears earlier this year before reports in September that he was set to stay at South Sydney, Zero Tackle reported.
‘It’s become a home to me’
“I’m stoked to be staying here at Souths. It’s become a home to me since I joined two years ago,” Humphreys said.
“I get to live my dream and represent this great club and all of the fans, so I’m very excited.”

“The fans are so good to me and I hope to repay them in any way I can,” he added. “I’m excited and I can’t wait to keep going on this journey.”
A utility Souths value
Humphreys made his NRL debut for Manly against Newcastle in Round 19, 2024, before joining the Rabbitohs in 2025. He has played 37 first-grade games, lining up at halfback, five-eighth, hooker, lock and centre for South Sydney.
Rabbitohs head of recruitment and retention Mark Ellison said the club believed it was “just scratching the surface” with him.

“He is a very skilful, hard-working and diligent player that puts everything into his preparation for each game he plays,” Ellison said.
“He can play in a number of positions which gives us great flexibility in our line up, and he’s also an accurate goal kicker.”
Fighting for a starting spot
Humphreys started 2026 in the No.7 jersey but made 12 of his 18 appearances off the bench, with his last start coming in Round 9, Sporting News reported. Hamstring and rib problems also interrupted his season.
He will now look to win back a regular first-grade spot at South Sydney.
