The 22-year-old scored a try 49 seconds into his sole National Rugby League appearance for Roosters against Cronulla Sharks in May 2024 but was released from his contract in December.

“He’s come here to improve and to make his mark and he’ll add a lot of depth to our pack and a lot of punch.”

Top-flight newcomers York open their inaugural Super League campaign against reigning champions Hull KR on Thursday, 12 February.
