Latrell Mitchell Signs with Panthers on \$12.5 Million Deal – “I’m Ready to Make My Mark in Penrith”
In a stunning move that’s sent shockwaves through the NRL world, Latrell Mitchell has officially signed a four-year deal with the Penrith Panthers worth \$12.5 million. The superstar fullback, who had long been linked with a return to Sydney, opted instead for the reigning premiers, saying he’s ready for a new chapter.
“I’m ready to make my mark in Penrith,” Mitchell said in his official statement. “I’ve always respected the Panthers’ culture and the way they play footy. This is about winning, legacy, and playing for a club that’s built for greatness.”
The deal makes Mitchell one of the highest-paid players in NRL history, and his arrival is expected to further bolster an already stacked Panthers squad. Club officials confirmed that negotiations began quietly several months ago and progressed rapidly over the past few weeks.
Coach Ivan Cleary called the signing “a game-changer,” saying, “Latrell brings firepower, leadership, and X-factor. He’s the kind of player who can turn a match on its head.”
Fans in Penrith have erupted in excitement, with merchandise sales already surging following the announcement. Mitchell is expected to join the team in pre-season training later this year and could make his Panthers debut in the opening round of the 2026 season.
With Mitchell now in the black and teal, the Panthers are doubling down on their quest to cement a dynasty. As for Latrell, he says it best: “This is home now. Let’s build something special.”
