Picture: David Clark Source: The Courier-Mail THE Titans have staved off poaching bids for Albert Kelly by securing the classy halfback until the end of 2015. In a boost for Gold Coast ahead of Sunday's clash against the Warriors, the Titans are poised to announce a 12-month extension for the reformed playmaker. Penrith and Kelly's former club Parramatta have been linked with the halfback, but the 22-year-old has informed Titans hierarchy he wants to extend his tenure at the club. The Titans last month activated a two-year contract for Kelly and are currently in talks with his management to formalise an additional one-year deal. Gold Coast chief executive David May confirmed the imminent upgrade for Kelly, who has found his niche at the Titans after troubled stints at the Eels, Cronulla and Newcastle. "We're close to wrapping Alby up and that will be another year on top of the deal he already has," May said. If he was still unsigned there would be a lot of clubs expressing interest because he is going well this year. Albert is part of the family here and he's settled in really well, he's doing all the right things, he's got a good support network here, good mentors, good leadership and he loves being here. He already feels part of the fabric of the club and we love having him here. May said Kelly, who has forged a slick scrumbase partnership with Aidan Sezer, could be a 10-year Titan. Life isn't about what you have done in the past, it's about what you have learned and how you respond to it. We couldn't ask for anything more from him than we are getting," he said.
