Newcastle Knights forward Herman Ese'ese will join the Gold Coast Titans in 2021 on a two-year deal.

The 25-year-old has played 81 games in the NRL and will add a wealth of experience to the Titans forward pack, having played for New Zealand and Samoa.

โ€œIโ€™m really excited to be joining the Titans and Iโ€™m looking forward to making the Gold Coast home,โ€ Ese'ese said on the club website.

โ€œWith the experience I have under my belt now, I think Iโ€™m playing the best football of my career and Iโ€™m looking forward to adding that to the Titans pack.

โ€œI truly believe that Justin (Holbrook) and the coaching staff are assembling a squad that can challenge for finals and I want to be a part of that.

โ€œIโ€™ve got some good mates in the team already and Iโ€™ve played at the Rugby League World Cup with Sam (Lisone) and Young (Tonumaipea), so there will be some established combinations there.

โ€œIโ€™ve got some footy to go this year at the Knights which Iโ€™m focused on, but I canโ€™t wait to play my first game next year in front of Titans Members and fans at Cbus Super Stadium.โ€

Titans coach Justin Holbrook said he was excited about the addition of Ese'ese to the club.

โ€œHerman is not just a great footballer but he has the character that weโ€™re looking for at the Titans,โ€ Holbrook said.

โ€œHe is big, skilled, has a great understanding of the game and is always looking to improve.

โ€œWherever Herman has played, his coaches and team-mates always talk highly of him and Iโ€™m excited about what he can bring to our squad.

โ€œI think he is a player that Titans Members and fans are really going to enjoy seeing play in a Gold Coast jersey.โ€
