JORDAN Heading is thankful to be with TNT for the long run and competing for PBA championships with the franchise after signing a three-year contract extension.
TNT team manager Jojo Lastimosa announced the deal on the team’s social media account which “keeps Heading in the fold as TNT builds on its core and looks to sustain its success in the PBA.”
“Super thankful for Talk ‘N Text for putting so much trust and faith in me,” Heading said when asked about the deal on Tuesday after TNT beat Macau, 142-87. “Really thankful to Coach Chot (Reyes), Boss Jolas, Boss Ricky (Vargas), Boss MVP, all of them for keeping the faith and keeping this going for another three years.”
“I’m excited,” Heading added.

Heading was acquired by TNT in a trade with Converge for Mikey Williams last June 2025, three months after the Tropang 5G won the 49th Season Commissioner’s Cup finals, their last title to date.
The 30-year old Heading, who hasn't won a PBA championship, said there wasn’t any hitch in the negotiations.
“It was just normal negotiations and talks and stuff. Both sides wanted to get a deal done. So we tried to make it as smooth as possible,” Heading said.
Heading is thrilled with the prospects of winning his first championship in the PBA with TNT.
“Obviously, the most exciting thing about getting a three-year extension is just being able to compete for championships for at least three more years, and with these guys. The relationships are building. I love being around them,” Heading said.
