The Gold Coast Titans have confirmed the signing of Leilani Latu on a three-year deal following his release from the Penrith Panthers.
The 24-year-old made his NRL debut for the Panthers against the Rabbitohs in Round 21 of season 2015 and joins the Titans with 49 appearances to his name. Latu has also made two appearances for the Indigenous All-Stars team and played one match for City Origin.
The St Johns Eagles junior will join his new team-mates this morning at the TFH High-Performance Centre for his first training session.
โIโm really looking forward to getting up to the Gold Coast,โ Latu said. โIโve crossed paths with a few of the guys before so it will be good to play with them week in, week out.
โOf course itโll be good to hook-up with Garth again. I enjoyed being coached by him before and he always challenges me which is something Iโm looking forward to again.
โI had a good look at the roster before making my final decision and Iโm excited by what Iโve seen. There are a lot of young boys with bright futures so hopefully, we can do well.โ
Head Coach Garth Brennan is pleased to have secured the services of Latu.
โLeilani is a player with a great attitude and is a great clubman,โ Brennan said.
โHeโs had three strong years in the NRL and after discussing the prospect of him coming to the club, I know heโs extremely excited about the opportunity.
โHeโll fit into our squad nicely and Iโm sure heโll form a major part of our forward pack for many years to come.โ
