The NRL future of Dylan Walker has been confirmed with Manly announcing a fresh one-year contract for the utility.<\/p>\n

Walker, 27, had been technically unemployed since November 1 but has now inked a new deal with the Sea Eagles for season 2022.<\/p>\n

It's unknown if rival clubs had been keen on luring him away from Narrabeen but Walker has been well supported by the Sea Eagles – and coach Des Hasler – through a number of off-field incidents over the years.<\/p>\n

He's represented both Australia and NSW in the past, and won an NRL title with South Sydney in 2014.<\/p>\n

Originally a centre at the Rabbitohs, Walker was thrown into a five-eighth role at Manly when he joined them in 2016 and spent years jumping between the two positions.<\/p>\n

This year, though, he transformed himself into bench utility and found a new lease on the game playing as a ball-playing middle forward.<\/p>\n

He's played 163 NRL games to date.<\/p>\n

"The ability to be able to play several positions in the game today is vital and Dylan plays an extremely important role within the team," coach Des Hasler said in a statement.<\/p>\n
