Damien Cook opens up about emotional relationship with Cody Walker
As Cook prepares to make his exit en route to the St. George Illawarra Dragons, he opened up about his connection with Walker.
www.sportingnews.comHere’s the latest I could verify about Damien Cook from recent reports:
- Damien Cook signed a contract extension with South Sydney Rabbitohs to remain with the club through 2025. This was reported as a two-year deal, highlighting his ongoing role with the team.[1]
- There were indications in early 2025 that Cook was weighing a contract extension with other clubs, including potential links to a Dragons move, but the publicly available updates in early 2026 show him associated with St George Illawarra in some coverage, reflecting ongoing transfer chatter rather than a confirmed deal change.[2][3]
- Coverage from multiple outlets around 2024–2026 shows Cook consistently discussed in the context of his club contracts and future with his team; however, specifics beyond the 2025 extension and subsequent rumors vary by source.[4][7]
If you’d like, I can try to pull the most current, specific status (including any official confirmations) from reliable sources and provide a concise update with direct quotes. Please confirm if you want me to search again for the latest confirmed news and specify whether you want only official club announcements or also reputable outlets.
