With some question marks surrounding the future of Jahream Bula, it looks like Wests Tigers have taken out some insurance by signing Jack Attard on a three-year deal.
The 19-year-old fullback, who has played throughout the Penrith Panthers system, has arrived at Concord following a strong 2025, having made his SG Ball Cup, Jersey Flegg Cup and Knock on Effect NSW Cup debut all in the same season.
This follows his selection in the 2024 Australian Schoolboys squad, courtesy of an outstanding Australian Secondary Schools Rugby League (ASSRL) Championship campaign, which included a dominant Grand Final performance, as he led NSW Combined Catholic Colleges to a 40-12 win over NSW Combined High Schools.
Attard was joined on the Australian Schoolboys tour by Wests Tigers pathways player Jared Haywood.
“Very excited to be joining the Wests Tigers and ripping in with the boys to kick off pre-season,” Attard said.
“After speaking with Benji and seeing what’s been happening around the Club, I’m looking forward to what’s ahead and being part of this group.
“There’s a lot of great players and coaches here at the Tigers and I’m keen to learn as much as I can and continue to improve my game,” Attard said.
Wests Tigers head coach Benji Marshall welcomed Attard to the club.
“A great young kid who we’re really happy to have joining us this year,” Marshall said.
“Jack will be a great fit for our group. He’s got a lot of talent but he’s also a really good young character who wants to develop and grow as player.
“We’re looking forward to welcoming Jack and his family into the club.’’
