Gold Coast Titans front-rower Morgan Boyle will join the Manly Sea Eagles in a mid-season switch, as reported by the Gold Coast Bulletin.
The 22-year old knocked back offers from a host of rival clubs to sign a two-year extension with Gold Coast until 2020, and his deal with Manly will go one further season beyond that.
Boyle enjoyed a breakout 2017 season but was hampered by a shoulder injury last year to only play seven first-grade games, eventually requiring surgery.
The promising youngster was supposed to in the ISC derby between Burleigh and Tweed this Sunday but has pulled out to travel to Manly.
Boyle told the Gold Coast Bulletin last month that he was a little underdone after missing a part of the pre-season.
The Titans now have two vacancies to fill on their top 30 roster.
