Australian and Queensland back-rower Aidan Guerra has agreed to a contract extension that will keep him at the Sydney Roosters until the end of 2017.

The 26-year-old Guerra expressed delight at extending his tenure with the foundation club.

"Playing for a club like the Roosters is an honour I don't take lightly. This is a great club and I'm really happy that I'll continue to represent the Roosters and be a part of this team over the next three years," said Guerra.

2014 was a breakthrough year for the back-rower who played his first State of Origin match for the Maroons and later made his Australian debut in the Four Nations tournament.

Roosters recruitment manager Peter O'Sullivan said Guerra made his NRL debut at the Roosters and had matured into a representative player.

"Aidan's coming of age during this year's Origin series was a just reward for his dedication and hard work. He certainly brought that experience back to his club football and we were proud to see him complete the year by making his Australian debut in the Four Nations.

"Committed, strong and talented, Aidan plays an important role within the team and it's great to have secured his services until the end of 2017," he added.

Guerra made his first-grade debut with the Roosters against South Sydney in the opening round of the 2010 season and has played 87 games.
