The South Sydney Rabbitohs are delighted to announce the signing of representative forward Adam Elliott for the 2026 season today.
Elliott, 31, has played 173 NRL games since making his debut for the Bulldogs against the Sea Eagles in round one, 2016.
Elliott, a proud Wiradjuri man raised on Yuin country, has represented the Indigenous All Stars on two occasions in 2019 and 2024, as well as Country Origin in 2017.
Rabbitohs Head of Recruitment and Retention, Mark Ellison, says Elliott will add experience and depth to the Rabbitohs’ forwards ranks.
“Adam has been a consistent performer at the NRL level for a decade now and we feel he will add experience and create more depth within our forwards stocks this season,” Mr Ellison said.
“He is renowned as a hardworking and aggressive forward, a punishing defender, and he has a reputation as a leader of men and a player that teammates want to play with.
