The Bulldogs are reportedly set to re-sign front rower Max King, fending off rivals to secure his signature.
According to WWOS, the 26-year-old has signed a three-year deal to remain at Belmore for seasons to come, with an official announcement expected in the coming days.
King was reportedly a target of multiple NRL clubs due to a shortage of middle forwards across the competition.

His current contract expires at the end of the 2024 season, meaning he was free to negotiate with rivals but instead has decided to stay at the Dogs.
“We are keen to keep Max – he’s a great kid and has been very good for us,” Phil Gould said.
The Bulldogs have bid farewell to Raymond Faitala-Mariner this off-season, meanwhile, Ryan Sutton will also be sidelined for the start of the season.
Gould has also recruited Zane Tetevano, Poasa Faamausili and Daniel Suluka-Fifita in the front row this off-season.
However, King is set to remain as the club’s spearhead prop for years to come and has been named to start against the Eels.
Zac Fulton, grandson of Manly legend Bob, is set to leave the Sea Eagles effective immediately to link up with UK club Bradford.
Fulton is the son of former recruitment manager Scott, who was controversially sacked from that role with the Tigers earlier in the year.
Scott had been the recruitment manager at the Sea Eagles before making an immediate switch to the Tigers in mid-2023.
According to The Daily Telegraph, Zac Fulton’s one-year deal is yet to be finalised, but the news has already been released by Bradford in the form of a club statement.
“I am very excited to be joining, Bradford is a great club and it will be good to get over there and meet the boys and get ready for the season,” Fulton said in the club-issued statement.
“I’ve always known about Bradford as a club from back when I was young, winning Super League titles and such. It is an opportunity I had to jump at when they offered me the chance to come over.
“I’ll give 100 per cent in everything that I do on the field and hopefully we can have a good crack at bringing success back to Bradford.”
Fulton played just the one game for the Sea Eagles first grade side – his NRL debut in Round 20, 2022 against the Dragons.
