Incoming NZ Warriors coach Nathan Brown has reportedly made his first signing, recruiting talented St George Dragons centre Euan Aitken.
The Daily Telegraph reports the 25-year-old, who has played 115 games for the Dragons since 2015, has inked a three-year deal with the Auckland-based side.
The Scotland international is a devastating ball-runner, who can also play fullback, and has scored 38 tries in his NRL career.
Aitken is one of several players on Brown's reported hit-list, as he looks to improve the playing roster for 2021.
The Telegraph says the club is also chasing Wigan Warriors centre Oliver Gildart, Canterbury Bulldogs forward Adam Elliott and Parramatta Eels forward Kane Evans.
Brown is also keen to add controversial Dragons forward Jack de Belin, if he's acquitted of aggravated sexual assault charges.
If de Belin is acquitted, Brown says he would be an "outstanding acquisition".
"He'd be an outstanding signing for the club, what Jack would bring to the club," says Brown.
"As I said, the club were talking to Jack before I come to the table, a type that would be an outstanding acquisition."
