The Manly Sea Eagles have today announced the re-signing of brothers Jake and Tom Trbojevic.

The deals will see the local juniors stay with the club until the end of 2016.

Tom Trbojevic, aged 17, was named Manly’s NYC Player of the Year for 2014, after scoring a club record 20 tries in 17 games and also represented NSW Under 18’s.

Older brother Jake spent the season in the NSW Cup, despite still being eligible for the NYC in 2014 and represented the NSW in the Under 20’s Origin in May.

Jake made his NRL debut last year against the Panthers in Round 26.

“Jake and Tom are both fantastic young men from the local area who have come through the Club’s development system with flying colours. They’re outstanding prospects,” he said.

“It’s a testament to the what we’re continually building here at Manly. We’ve got some impressive young talent in the likes of Liam Knight, Jesse Ramien, Rhys Armstrong and John Hopoate (Jnr) at present. Our junior ranks are looking as good as ever.”
