‘It’s felt like home’: Tarryn Aiken agrees to new deal with Roosters

Reigning Golden Boot winner Tarryn Aiken has re-signed with the Roosters until the end of the 2027 season in a huge boost for the NRLW heavyweights just a month out from the start of their premiership defence.

Aiken has developed into one of the game’s elite playmakers for her club, state and country, with the champion playmaker enjoying unprecedented success in 2024 when she won the NRLW title, the State of Origin series with Queensland and the Pacific Championships with Australia.

She capped off her dream year with the Golden Boot award and is set for more success after agreeing to a new deal with the Roosters who are one of the teams tipped to go all the way in 2025.

“I’m incredibly proud to extend my time with the Sydney Roosters,” she said.

“I absolutely love this club and this team; it’s felt like home since day one. The culture, the people, and the way we push each other to be better every day – it’s really special and I’m excited about what the future holds.”

John Strange led the Blues to Origin glory over Aiken’s Maroons this year, but he’s glad he gets to work with her again as the pair chase more success.

“Tarryn is an exceptional talent and a genuine competitor,” he said, with the Roosters to begin their NRLW campaign against the Warriors on July 6.

“She brings professionalism, leadership and a winning mindset to everything she does. We’re thrilled to have her recommit to the club, and we’re confident she will remain a driving force in our future success.”
