Bula will become the second Wests Tigers player to make his NRL debut this season when he runs out for the ANZAC Round match at Campbelltown Sports Stadium.
The 21-year-old has today been elevated into Wests Tigers Top 30 squad, extending his playing contract through until the end of the 2025 season.
The Auckland-born outside back has been named at fullback for Sunday’s Round 8 game against the Sea Eagles.
Head coach Tim Sheens says Bula has earned this opportunity.
“He had a brilliant pre-season and has played well in the KOE Cup,” said Sheens.
Wests Tigers is delighted to announce a contract extension and upgrade for Jahream Bula ahead of Sunday’s home game against Manly Sea Eagles.
None of this is possible without the man above.
“I’m extremely grateful for the support of all my family and friends, and I would not be here today without them.
“I am also grateful to my partner who makes me want to become the best version of myself.
“I want to thank Tim Sheens and the coaching staff here at Wests Tigers for the time they have invested in me, and for blessing me with this opportunity.”
Bula relocated with his family from Auckland to Queensland in 2016, where he attended Keebra Park State High School.
