The Wests Tigers have confirmed the signing of Alex Twal, effective immediately.

Twal will join Wests Tigers this week and is eligible for selection for Wests Tigersโ€™ Round 16 game against the Gold Coast Titans.

The 20-year-old was already signed to Wests Tigers for three years commencing in 2018 but will join the club earlier.

A junior representative standout, Twal has already featured for the Junior Kangaroos and NSW U/20s in his career and was named in the 2016 Holden Cup Team of the Year after a superb season with Parramatta.

The Parramatta City Titans junior has spent the last two seasons as part of the Eelsโ€™ extended first-grade squad and played for Wentworthville Magpies against Wests Tigers last weekend.

Wests Tigers CEO Justin Pascoe welcomed Twal to the club.

โ€œWe were really happy to announce Alexโ€™s signing last month and to have him join us early is an added boost,โ€ said Pascoe. โ€œAlex has had a great year so far and will provide additional cover and depth for Wests Tigers over the remainder of the year.โ€
