Penrith utility Tyrone Peachey is set to join the Gold Coast Titans on a three-year deal starting in 2019.

Despite being under contract until the end of the 2019 season, Peachey is set to walk out of the club 12 months early - or possibly sooner.

Channel 7 reporter Chris Garry broke the news on Twitter overnight following recent reports that the Gold Coast had 'put down an offer that Penrith couldn't match'.

Where Peachey would fit into the side is unknown, with the likes of Dale Copley, Brenko Lee and Konrad Hurrell all battling for centre spots, meaning a return to the forwards could be on the cards.

Peachey made the move from lock to the centres midway through 2016, scoring 10 tries in his final 16 games of the season.

However, last season saw inconsistency creep into Peachey's game as centres Waqa Blake and Dean Whare breathed down his neck.

A move to the Gold Coast would see him reunite with former teammates Mitch Rein and Leilani Latu, as well as former reserve grade coach Garth Brennan.

Rumours have continued to circulate since Anthony Griffin's arrival of Penrith of Peachey's unrest at the foot of the mountains, which would even see the utility walk before the June 30 deadline.

Peachey's exit comes as a massive blow to the Penrith outfit, coming just months after the exit of star junior and former captain Matt Moylan.

The Titans are expected to confirm the deal in coming weeks, as the Gold Coast outfit look to fill the hole in their salary cap left by Jarryd Hayne's departure.
