It will be his seventh club in the Australian competition – an equal record – after also playing for Parramatta, Cronulla, Canterbury, Melbourne, Manly and the Warriors.

He also had four years in England, at first with Hull KR and then Wigan, winning the double in 2013 - including his Grand Final heroics in which he played for most of the game with a badly-swollen eye.
