Jamie Buhrer joins Newcastle Knights

The Newcastle Knights is pleased to announce the signing of Jamie Buhrer.

Buhrer joins the Club from the Manly Sea Eagles, on a two-year contract.

Buhrer made his NRL debut in 2010 and has played 120 games for Manly, including a premiership in 2011.

The 26-year-old can play in the second-row, at lock and hooker.

“Jamie is a natural footballer and a player that covers a number of positions,” coach Nathan Brown said.

“Importantly Jamie is a mature player and will help with the growth of our younger players.

“Jamie is a good leader, trainer and talker, and will be an important addition to our squad.

“He knows what is required to win and what it takes to win a grand final; he really comes to Newcastle with great experience.”

Buhrer will commence pre-season with the Knights on November 1.
