JOSH Jackson will finally put pen to paper on a four-year extension at Canterbury in the coming weeks after his management met with club officials on Wednesday.

Jackson’s manager Andrew Purcell told The Daily Telegraph he received the clarity required to finalise the NSW back-rower’s future.

It’s understood he wanted further understanding around the final details of the contract, including clauses around the new salary cap in 2018.

Jackson’s looming retention is positive news for Canterbury, especially when you consider Purcell had admitted Origin I could become a potential auction for his services if talks with the Bulldogs stalled.

Thankfully this won’t happen and the final deal, worth a reportedly $2 million, should be officially announced by next week.

It will keep the keep Jackson at Belmore until the end of the 2020 season.

The Gulgong-born back-rower had attracted interest from a number of rival clubs, including Canberra, Penrith, Parramatta and Manly.

Need to have the ink dry on the contract and an official announcement to breathe easy. Brilliant news if true and one of the first things I would be doing is to award the (C) to him as from next year. Have always said he would be the ideal Captain of the club.

Jackson appears like the type who appreciates the club for giving him a start and would play for less to stay.

That's hard to find nowadays so if he bounced any rival offers worth more then he deserves a standing ovation next home game (once he's signed of course haha).

I think Jackson would let his work ethic and actions speak for themselves and that can also be attributes of a good leader.

in saying that, Graham is a tremendous captain and if he is available should remain as our team captain. You can't throw around the captaincy like a pair of overused undies.

My only issue with Graham is what ever happened to his pass before the line and offload? It's become non-existent. Is this potentially the Des factor?

Spot on he will be with us for a long time. Like Cordner and the Chooks. Loyalty is a rare commodity these days but its great when its present at your club.

you know what, as much as i admire jackson i dont think he'd be a good captain. hes not really a talker on the field and i cant see him asserting authority on anyone. i could be wrong...
This is the thing. The coach is the best person to choose the captain. You dont get rewarded the captaincy for being a good player, you get awarded it because you inspire your teammates through your actions AND WORDS. I dont have a clue if Jackson is a big talker. He would need to be an inspirational talker to be captain. I see him more as a quiet achiever who likes to go unnoticed. Captain material? - let the coach decide, but honestly I think it would be difficult to take it off Jammer. I just want Jammer to play a simpler game himself and let the halves be first receiver ALL THE TIME IN THE OPPOSITION 20. Let Jammer stand back and guide the troops and be the captain behind the play, going for an inspirational run when he sees an opportunity.
