Campbell re-signs with Titans
May 01, 2008
The Gold Coast Titans have re-signed electric fullback Preston Campbell for next season.
The in-form Campbell, who started his professional rugby league career with the Gold Coast Chargers in 1998, has signed a contract extension for 2009, with both parties to discuss his future beyond that term at a later date.
After being hampered by injuries over the past three seasons, the 30-year-old said he was currently feeling the best he had in some time but admitted he had also started to think about life after football.
"I?m felling good at the moment and feel like I could play for another five years but you just don?t know what?s going to happen," said Campbell.
"We?ve got a lot of young blokes coming through and I just don?t want to stand in the way of the club going forward.
"It?s obvious that the club is going to be blooding some of the younger blokes maybe later on this year or definitely next year so it?ll be interesting to see what role I play. But whatever role comes up, I?ll definitely be doing my best."
Campbell said he had his sights set on reaching his milestone 200th NRL game before he hangs up the boots. He currently sits on 189 NRL games.
Titans coach John Cartwright said Campbell?s recent form was comparable, if not better than that which he showed at Cronulla and Penrith earlier in his career.
"He?s coming into some of the best form that he?s played in his career," said Cartwright.
"His game last week against the Warriors, you couldn?t really hope for a better game from a fullback."
