Boom Knights utility Heath Gibbs bagged a hat trick against the Tigers in the NRL's under 20 competition last month - so the Tigers claimed the ultimate revenge on Newcastle today.

The Tigers swooped on Gibbs, signing the 19-year-old centre or second-rower on a three year deal which will start in 2018.

The Dubbo born youngster is one of the best up-and-comers in the Knights’ ranks and his defection is a blow to Nathan Brown’s plans for the future.

The Tigers continue to spend big money, with Gibbs the 12th new face signed by coach Ivan Cleary for 2018.

He is expected to train in the pre-season with the full-time squad and be given his chance to shine in the pre-season trials.
