Having only turned 20 two weeks ago, Sydney homegrown talent Josh Curran has decided to take his talents to Auckland and play for the Warriors.

With just one game to date this season in the win over the Storm in April, Curran has the opportunity to take up a more permanent role in the Warriors back-row.

The rookie will come in to replace Solomone Kata, who was granted an early release from his contract yesterday.

Warriors general football manager Brian Smith highlighted the Warriors delight of signing the promising back-rower.

"We’ve been watching Josh closely and he’ll give us more depth among our back row options,” he told the club website.

“He’s an accomplished player who has excelled in every age group representing New South Wales at under-16, under-18 and under-20 level as well as playing for the New South Wales Residents against Queensland this year.”
