Talented Newcastle fullback Nick Meaney has agreed to terms with the Bulldogs for the next three seasons.

The 20 year-old, who was a Ballina junior, represented the NSW U20's Origin last season, in addition to being selected in the NSW Residents squad. He was also the Knights Player-of-the-Year in the NYC and NSW Cup over the past two seasons.

Meaney will join Newcastle team-mate Jack Cogger at the Bulldogs next season, having built a strong relationship with him during their time together at the Knights.
