Manly Sea Eagles have pulled off a major coup with the signing of brilliant young Gold Coast Titans centre Brian Kelly.
The Sea Eagles fended off several NRL clubs and the Titans for his signature for 2018-19 and see him as a guilt edge investment for the future.
Sea Eagles Head of Football Bob Fulton spotted 20-year-old Kelly last season when looking at another Gold Coast youngster, Jed Cartwright โ son of Manly Assistant Coach John Cartwright.
John Cartwright, the foundation coach of the Titans, said securing Kellyโs signature was massive for the Sea Eagles.
โBrian is a really powerful, fast kid, who can play full-back, wing, and centre. He has a similar build to Dylan Walker,โโ John said.
โEveryone up north has a huge opinion of him. It was never a case of thinking not if, but when, he will play NRL.โ
