St George Illawarra star Josh Dugan has all but ruled out a switch the NFL saying he’s never been happier in rugby league and despite having another two years to run on his current deal, is happy to negotiate an extension with the Dragons.

“Look, if the opportunity came up [NFL], I’ve always said I’ll back my ability and that sort of thing but at the same time my contract’s here, I’m contracted for two years, I’m currently in talks of extending as well,” Dugan told dragons.com.au.

“In the near future I can’t see it happening.”

The representative fullback says he’s that happy at The Red V he’d be happy to play anywhere and that included a shift back to the centres if coach Paul McGregor decided to go another way with his starting thirteen.

“I’d be happy to jump in the centres again; I enjoyed my time there,” Dugan said.

“I felt like I only scratched the surface and I wouldn’t mind having a crack there but we’ve got some great players there as well.

“For me at the moment it’s about doing everything I can right with my neck. I’m going to miss the majority of the pre-season, I won’t be on the field too much with the boys so they’ll probably have to do a bit without me anyway.

“I don’t mind where I play, whether it’s fullback or centre.”
