Cronulla Sharks halfback Nicho Hynes has signed a monster six-year deal which will make him the first $1m player in the club’s history.
The 26-year-old reigning Dally M Medallist was still contacted until the end of the 2024 season but the Sharks have moved to lock him in until the end of the 2029 season, with a deal set to earn him $7m across its length.
While he was crowned the best player in the game in 2022, Hynes is also won the Provan-Summons Medal for the player who best exemplifies the spirit of the game.
