Manly veteran Jake Trbojevic will continue his career for at least a further season, confirming a one-year contract extension with the club.

The 32-year-old fan-favourite was weighing up his future earlier in the year after a period riddled with head knocks, but has found form along with the rest of his Sea Eagles teammates in recent months under interim coach Kieran Foran.

Trbojevic's deal will see him remain in the maroon and white jumper for 2027.

In a statement on Wednesday afternoon, the former NSW Blues captain admitted the appointment of Foran has helped turn things around at the club.

"I'm loving my footy and I love this club," he said.

"The past few weeks have been really enjoyable and our turnaround in form has been great for the whole club. I love playing under Foz and with this amazing group of players.

"I'm really happy to confirm that I'm locked in for next year."

The comments from the veteran lock-forward are another ringing endorsement for caretaker coach Foran, who also received the backing of Tom Trbojevic.

The former Manly playmaker said re-signing the oldest Trbojevic brother was a boost.

"He's playing some really good footy, the boys love playing with him, so this is great news for the club," Foran said.

"I think he's done an amazing job in Tom's absence as captain, both on and off the field.

"Jake is everything that is good about this club, he is Manly through and through."

Trbojevic recently celebrated his 250th game for the Sea Eagles.
