“Pete has had a good couple of years and there is a lot more to get out of him. We are excited to work with him for another couple of years.

“Kitch is athletic and dynamic and he now has a lot of experience under his belt in big games.


 


“Dom is another relatively young guy who has a massive amount of potential and has the right attitude as well. He is an ultimate professional.”


Betham added: “I’m ecstatic. I am very humbled and blessed to be able to spend a couple more years here. I have found a home here and wouldn’t want to be anywhere else.”
