The Wests Tigers have announced that Chris McQueen will be joining the club for the 2018 NRL season.
The new agreement will see McQueen join Wests Tigers until the end of the 2020 season.
Wests Tigers Head Coach Ivan Cleary said that he looked forward to having McQueen join the club at the end of the year.
โIโm really looking forward to having Chris on board for the next three seasons,โ he said. โNot only does he bring plenty of experience with him, he is also an extremely consistent player.
โItโs clear that Chris has greatly helped the Titansโ young players develop on and off the field in the past few years, and that will no doubt be a strong asset at this club too.
โKnowing how hard Chris works and how team-focussed he is, Iโm sure it wonโt take long for Wests Tigers Members and fans to really appreciate him and regard him as a fan-favourite," said Cleary.
