NZ Warriors have confirmed new signings Ronald Volkman and Freddy Lussick will join the NRL club immediately.
The pair will link up with the squad in Redcliffe, after being released early by Sydney Roosters.
Volkman, 19, has signed on through 2025, with Lussick’s contract running until the end of the current campaign.
Warriors football general manager Craig Hodges has hailed the signings.
"We're thrilled to be able to add Ronald and Freddy to our squad right now," he said.
"We were keen to have Ronald onboard for the rest of this season, rather than waiting for 2023. It’s beneficial for him and for us to have him settled into the club sooner rather than later.
"And Freddy brings NRL experience out of the Roosters system to add more support in the dummy half ranks to Wayde Egan and Taniela Otukolo."
Lussick made his NRL debut with the Roosters in 2020 and was loaned to St George Dragons for two games last year. He’s the youngest of three brothers to fashion NRL careers.
Along with Volkman, he has played for Roosters feeder club North Sydney Bears in the New South Wales Cup. He also played at U18 and U20 level for the Roosters.
Volkman, who balanced rugby league and rugby union as a schoolboy star, is a gifted young half, who’s regarded as one of the hottest prospects in the game.
