The Papua New Guinea Chiefs have offered former NRL star Zac Lomax a multi-year deal to join the club, according to sources familiar with the negotiations. Lomax, who previously played for the St. George Illawarra Dragons and the Parramatta Eels, is considering the offer as he explores options in rugby league.
The deal, reported on July 15, 2026, would see Lomax move to the PNG-based team, which competes in the Queensland Cup. The Chiefs are looking to bolster their squad with experienced talent, and Lomax's versatility as a backline player makes him a valuable target.
Lomax, a former New South Wales State of Origin representative, has been a standout in the NRL since his debut in 2018. His potential move to the PNG Chiefs would mark a significant shift in his career, as the club aims to build a competitive roster.
No official announcement has been made, and Lomax's decision is pending further discussions. The Chiefs have not commented on the offer, but sources indicate the deal is substantial.
