Fresh from being crowned the Titans' rookie of the year, Josh Patston has extended his time on the Gold Coast until the end of 2027.

The ex-Marist Brothers second-rower has had an outstanding year with the Titans and has been rewarded for his efforts.

Taking up a train-and-trial deal in 2025, the journeyman earned his debut in Round 15 before becoming a regular in the 17 each week to finish the season with eight appearances - even scoring his maiden try against the Sharks.

Patston played for the Ipswich Jets in the Queensland Cup in 2025, a move that proved fruitful for his career.

Having previously spent pre-season stints with both the Storm and Broncos before finding his full-time home at the Titans after growing up in Lismore, the versatile middle/edge forward is looking forward to the next chapter of his career after securing a top 30 contract.

"This year was everything I could ever ask for, getting the chance to make my debut and I've learnt so much in my first full season in an NRL system," Patston said.

"I'm now super excited for the next two years having my future locked in here with the Titans."

Patston was also pleased to see his beloved Marist Brothers break their premiership drought in the NRRRL after they secured the win over Murwillumbah two weeks ago.

The 26-year-old also created history alongside his younger sister Lily - the duo becoming the first brother / sister pairing to play for the Titans after she also made her NRLW debut in 2025.
