Jaeman Salmon has credited Penrith for reviving his NRL career, with the bench utility claiming he will re-sign with the club after their grand final win.

Jaeman Salmon has declared his desire to remain at Penrith, claiming the back-to-back premiers saved his NRL career in signing him two years ago.

Salmon is the only remaining member of the Panthers' premiership-winning team off contract, after playing as a bench utility this year.

The 23-year-old had been linked with a move to Canterbury, particularly given the Panthers are rumoured to be in talks to bring in fellow utility Tyrone Peachey from Wests Tigers.

But Salmon has made clear he wants to stay put, saying the Panthers stuck by him and offered immense support during the Ricky Stuart saga this year, when the Canberra coach called him a "weak-gutted dog" after his on-field incident involving Raider Tom Starling.

"Everything's pretty much sorted. I'd like to be here next year," Salmon told AAP.

When he exited Parramatta at the end of 2020, Salmon had gone 14 months without playing an NRL game, and began working as a carpenter on days where he wasn't training.

He was offered a lifeline by the Panthers, signed as a back-up playmaker and starting in three games this season to go with his 22 off the bench.

"They've revived my career," said Salmon, paying particular thanks to coach Ivan Cleary and his assistant Cameron Ciraldo.

"I was at Parra and at a crossroads if I wanted to play footy or not anymore. Penrith gave me a shot.

"I spoke to Ivan and Ciro and they've been the best for me ever since I got here. They've just had belief in me.

"I was going to give it up and start being a carpenter. But I thought I would give it a crack and now I'm a premiership winner. It's unbelievable."

Salmon was one of four players in Penrith's 28-12 win over Parramatta not to play in last year's decider, watching that victory over South Sydney from the sideline.

"Last year we won and I was happy but I was like, 'It'd be a lot better if I was playing'," he said.

"This year I'm actually playing and I just can't believe it. Words can't describe how I am feeling right now."

Hooker Mitch Kenny, centre Izack Tago and winger Charlie Staines were Penrith's other new faces.

"Of course it feels different," Kenny said.

"To play one and win one. It's an amazing feeling. Obviously it's something you dream about all your life."
