JAMES Segeyaro will train for the first time with the Broncos this morning and says he is ready to work hard for an opportunity.

The former Sharks, Panthers and Cowboys' player signed his contract at the Clive Berghofer Centre this morning.

The Broncos have picked up Segeyaro mid-season as a back up to first-choice hooker Andrew McCullough and last week's rake Jake Turpin.

McCullough has a medial ligament injury and is not expected back for at least another month.

Turpin did a fine job in the win over the Sea Eagles on Friday, but Segeyaro's experience gives the Broncos another option.

"I am really looking forward to being part of the Broncos' club," he said.

"The Broncos are a proud club and I am focussed on working hard now to gain an opportunity.

"I can't wait to get out there on the training field with my new teammates."

The 28-year-old has played 141 NRL matches since 2011, and also had a stint with the Leeds Rhinos in the English Super League.

He has represented Papua New Guinea in five Tests.
