Former Bulldog Isaiah Tass has signed a development contract with the Brisbane Broncos for 2021.
The club announced in a statement on Thursday morning that the 21-year old would be joining them for next season.
Tass was rewarded with a spot on the development list after impressing Broncos coaches during pre-season training.
The young Queenslander was a member of the Canterbury Bulldogs last season and played for them at the NRL Nines.
Broncos coach Kevin Walters said Tass deserved the opportunity.
โHeโs been really good. He didnโt play a lot of football at the Bulldogs last year but weโre really happy with what heโs been doing. Heโs good, strong character which is the type of people weโre trying to recruit here," he told broncos.com.au.
โHis game needs a bit of developing but heโs an attacking-style centre and has skills you canโt coach and weโre very happy about that.
โWeโre bringing him home as well because heโs a good, young Queensland kid. We like to think weโre a club where we provide opportunities for Queensland kids.โ
