A co-captain of the club in 2014, Elgey finished the season as the Titans’ top try scorer and top point scorer.

Elgey recently signed his first NRL contract with the club and will join the team’s first grade squad for pre season training before Christmas.

Gold Coast Titans halfback Kane Elgey been rewarded for his 2014 form by signing a first grade contract with the club.

While his future looked uncertain less than a week ago, the 2014 NYC Team of the Year member has signed a one-year deal with his home town club.

The Tugun Seahawks junior, who represented the Australian Schoolboys while attending Palm Beach Currumbin, had a fantastic year despite the Titans finishing 15th.

Elgey finished the year as the Titans’ leading try scorer, with 16 tries, and leading point scorer, with 124 points.

Also re-signed for a further season is Titans NYC graduate Tom Kingston, who made his NRL debut this year.

Kingston is also a local junior, playing his junior football with the Tweed Heads Seagulls.

While Elgey remains on the Coast for another year, his Titans co-captain Jahrome Hughes is still without a club for 2015.

A Tugun junior himself, Hughes has been told he doesn’t have a future at the Titans.

“Jahrome played first grade as an 18-year-old (but) they don’t think he’s up to it.”

Woolf said Hughes was a “specialist fullback” who needed a clearer pathway to the No. 1 jersey.
