Star halfback Nathan Cleary is set to extend his stay in Penrith by re-signing with the club, according to Panthers General Manager Phil Gould.Speaking on 100% Footy, Gould confirmed Cleary's intentions to re-sign with the club where he has played 58 career games, saying that a deal will be done "shortly".Cleary had originally set a November 1 date to discuss his contract with Penrith beyond the 2019 season, but appears to have sorted out
his future soon after the Panthers were bundled out of the 2018 finals series.Speculation about the 20-year-old's playing future reached fever-pitch during the 2018 season, following the dismissal of head coach Anthony Griffin, and Cleary's well-publicised desire to play under his father Ivan.Following the Panthers' exit, Cleary mentioned that he did not want to mull about his future for too long."I don't want to drag it out," Cleary told News Corp on Sunday.
