Luke Covell, a father figure for some, a brother for others and a driving force for many people in their day to day life has re-signed with his native NRL Club the Cronulla Sharks.
After being originally linked to Canberra earlier in the year, Covell had intereste expressed in him from 9 NRL Clubs, mainly being Penrith, Wests Tigers, Gold Coast and New Zealand Warriors. However this popular stalward and champion utility back, has stayed faithfull to the club who saved him 2 years ago, and now he calls home.

COVELL A SHARK THROUGH TO 2008

Winger Luke Covell has signed a new two year deal which will see him remain at the Sharks at least until the end of the 2008 season.
The Sharks goal-kicker who has been outstanding in 2006 with a success rate of 76 per cent, Covell has also been in tremendous form on the wing for the Sharks, with a feature of his play being his no-nonsense defense and his ability read a game and defuse dangerous situations on his own goal line.
In a career which included a stint at the Wests Tigers before he joined the Sharks, Covell has accumulated 452 points in 58 NRL games. He has scored 310 points in 36 first grade games for the Sharks, coming from 14 tries and 127 goals.
Covell has played all of the Sharks 14 games in the top grade so far this season.
Sharks CEO Greg Pierce announced the signing of Covell this afternoon (Wednesday).
Luke has been very good for us on the wing and his goal kicking is an obviously another string to his bow, Pierce said. We are more than happy he has agreed to stay at the Sharks for a further two years.
The Sharks are also moving quickly in an attempt to secure a number of off-contract players before the June 30 anti-tampering deadline and will then enter the player market in a bid to bolster their ranks for 2007 and beyond.
