The Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs have added a further piece to their new-look squad for next year with the signing of exciting Penrith back-rower Corey Harawira-Naera for the next four years.

The talented 23 year-old, who was born in New Zealand, made his NRL debut for the Panthers in 2017, scoring a try in his first match against Newcastle.

He has currently made 44 NRL appearances for the Panthers over the past two seasons, scoring 13 tries.

Bulldogs Chief Executive Andrew Hill was delighted to be able to sign someone of Harawira-Naera's quality:

"Signing someone of Corey's calibre and potential is a great coup for the Bulldogs and comes on the back of a strong finish to our 2018 season. Dean Pay and his coaching staff have helped develop some talented young players this year and the addition of Corey to the squad will add both quality and strength to our forward pack for next season and beyond."
