One of the Warriors' biggest names will remain at the club for another two years.

Fullback Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad has re-committed to the club until the end of the 2027 NRL season.

The off-contract 29-year-old Kiwi international's two-year extension will now stretch his second stay at the club to at least five seasons after earlier spending three years at the Warriors from 2016 to 2018.

Coach Andrew Webster was thrilled to secure the services of 'CNK'.

"Keeping Charnze means so much to us. He plays such a huge part at our club and we didn't want him going anywhere else. The energy he brings every training session, every game and around the club is unbelievable," Webster said.

"He's all heart and soul and we love him."

Nicoll-Klokstad made seven NRL appearances in his first stint with the Warriors and has added another 45 this term to reach his 50-game milestone with the club.

While he missed Saturday night's 20-18 golden point win over Brisbane with concussion protocols, after being forced off the field early in the second half of the loss to Melbourne, he has been named to start in the number one jersey against Newcastle on Friday night.
