St George Illawarra forward Matt Prior has extended his contract with the NRL club until the end of the 2013 season.
The 22-year-old NSW south coast product, who has also filled in at centre this season, was off-contract at the end of the year.
"It feels great, I'm stoked to be here with all my family and friends around so it's a good place to be, it's pretty special for me," Prior told reporters on Monday.
"It's good to get it out of the way nice and early so I can just get on with playing football, it's something that was on my mind a little bit."
Prior has flourished under the coaching of Wayne Bennett and has been tipped for representative honours in 2010.
He joins big name Dragons Jamie Soward and Michael Weyman in recommitting to the club in recent weeks.
St George Illawarra have opened their 2010 season with
back-to-back wins over Parramatta and Canterbury.
