The Warriors have signed promising back-rower Josh Curran through until the end of the 2021 season.
The 20-year-old made his NRL debut for the Sydney Roosters this season, after impressing at age group level for New South Wales.
He'll join the side as a replacement for the departing Solomone Kata, who is heading to Melbourne to join the Storm.
"We’ve been watching Josh closely and he’ll give us more depth among our back row options," said Warriors general manager of football Brian Smith.
"He’s an accomplished player who has excelled in every age group representing New South Wales at under-16, under-18 and under-20 level, as well as playing for the New South Wales Residents against Queensland this year."
A 185cm, 99kg second rower or loose forward, Curran was with Parramatta as an under-16 and under-18 player in 2015 and 2016, before joining the Roosters in 2017.
He made 28 under-20 appearances for the Roosters in 2017 and 2018 and also turned out nine times for feeder club Wyong in the former Intrust Super Premiership last year.
He has played 11 times for the North Sydney Bears – the Roosters’ new feeder club – in the Canterbury Cup this season.
