After being released by The Dolphins, several clubs have shown interest in recruiting outside back Brenko Lee, with a frontrunner emerging.
Debuting in 2014 for theย Canberra Raiders, he would amass 88ย NRLย games for the Raiders, Bulldogs, Titans, Storm, Broncos and Dolphins from 2014 to 2023.
His career to date also includes 100ย NRL points (25 tries), one representative Test for Tongaย and one appearance for the Queenslandย Maroonsย side in 2020.
It is understood that the Wigan Warriors, Hull Kingston Rovers, Huddersfield Giants and Leeds Rhinos have also been linked to the 27-year-old as of late.
However, the Warriors recently signed former NRL player Adam Keighran, and the Giants have dismissed the rumours regarding Lee.
League Expressย has reported that the Catalans Dragons have emerged as the frontrunners to sign the former Queensland Maroons player.
His departure coincides withย Jake Averilloย andย Herbie Farnworth joining the Dolphins. Their arrival meant he would face a battle to clinch one of the four outside back positions in the team.
โI have achieved a lot within theย NRL,โ Lee said via News Corp on his departure.
โI won a grand final and State of Origin series along with being one of the inaugural Dolphins players, all of which I am proud of.
โI am looking for a new challenge andย Super Leagueย is something I have always wanted to test myself in.โ
Chris Orr, the agent ofย Brenko Lee, confirmed to News Corp last week that they are already in talks with multiple clubs. However, now it seems that the Dragons are the likeliest club to secure his signature.
โWe're currently talking to a number of clubs, including Catalans and Leeds, there's a bit of interest,โ said Orr of PSM.
โBrenko helped Wayne and the Dolphins kickstart theirย NRLย campaign, but he now wants a different challenge in theย Super League.โ
