Keighley Cougars have confirmed that prop forward Jack Teanby has signed a contract extension, keeping him at Cougar Park for the 2027 season. The experienced front-rower becomes the latest member of the squad to commit his future to the club as preparations continue ahead of the upcoming campaign under Head Coach Matt Bramald.
Building squad continuity
Teanby's decision to remain with the Cougars forms part of the club's recruitment strategy combining the retention of established players with new signings. The club is focused on developing a squad that balances experience with fresh talent, creating the right mix of physicality, skill and ambition to compete consistently throughout the 2027 campaign.
A formidable presence in the middle of the field, Teanby brings strength and physicality to the Cougars forward pack. His hard-running approach, aggressive defence and willingness to compete in the toughest areas of the pitch are valued contributions to the team. As a prop forward, he understands the demands of playing through the middle, where his ability to make difficult metres and absorb pressure provides a physical platform for players around him.
Experience and leadership
Beyond his on-pitch contributions, Teanby offers experience and a strong work ethic — qualities the club identifies as vital as the Cougars develop a squad built around determination, togetherness and a desire to succeed. His commitment is seen as a positive indication of the direction in which the club is heading as it continues to strengthen both on and off the field.
With Head Coach Matt Bramald continuing to shape the squad, competition for places will form an important part of preparations, ensuring players push one another to maintain high standards throughout the season. Teanby will have an important role to play in that environment, bringing experience and a determined approach to every training session and matchday.
