“The Club has always had a lot of belief in me, and I know that my best footy is still ahead of me. I can’t wait for what’s to come and I’m looking forward to continuing to play my role for the team,” he added.
Head Coach Trent Robinson was pleased to have Smith locked into the Club’s long-term plans.
“This extension is testament to the hard work Billy puts in every day. He is Eastern Suburbs through and through, and no one can ever question his dedication to the team, or his resilience, so it’s great to have Billy locked in for another three years,” said Robinson.
