With 87 games to his name and the ability to cover a plethora of positions, Doueihi could be a valuable asset to Marshall for the next year and beyond.

The utility believes he still has plenty of room to improve in the black and gold.

“I’m still only 25 and I know my best years are ahead of me,” he said.

“I’ll be working as hard as I can over the rest of this season and next season and I’m excited about the years ahead.”

With four other playmakers – Jarome Luai, Lachlan Galvin, Jayden Sullivan and Latu Fainu – all signed for 2025 and beyond at the Tigers, Doueihi’s future is likely to be in the centres or at lock.

The 25-year-old spent over a year on the sidelines after suffering an ACL rupture last season, before finally making his comeback via NSW Cup last weekend.

Doueihi has been named among the reserves for the club’s round 16 clash against the Raiders, with the Lebanese international hopeful of a first grade return soon.
