Fullback Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad has re-committed to the One New Zealand Warriors 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.
“We’re thrilled Charnze has extended his time with us,” said One New Zealand Warriors general manager recruitment, pathways and development Andrew McFadden.
“He attracted interest from a lot of other clubs but has thankfully decided to stay here.
“He’s important to us on so many levels, not least what he brings on the field but also with his leadership, attitude, guidance and contribution off the field.”

Nicoll-Klokstad made seven NRL appearances in his first stint with the One New Zealand Warriors and has added another 45 this term to reach his 50-game milestone with the club.
“Keeping Charnze means so much to us,” said One New Zealand Warriors head coach Andrew Webster.
“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. He’s all heart and soul and we love him.”
Nicoll-Klokstad missed Saturday night’s gritty 20-18 golden point win over Brisbane as he followed the NRL’s concussion protocols after being forced off the field early in the second half of the loss to Melbourne.
Despite being limited to 44 minutes against the Storm, he is still averaging 176 metres this season including a phenomenal performance in the 14-6 round two victory against the Sydney Roosters.
Marking his 50th outing for the Warriors, Nicoll-Klokstad carried the ball 30 times for 316 metres – three runs in one set at one point – with 96 post-contact metres, a line break, two line break assists, two try assists and seven tackle breaks.
Since returning from Canberra, he has taken his gamed to another level averaging a career-best 188 metres a game in 2023 and then bettering that with 202 metres last year.
