Popular back rower Jayson Bukuya will return to the Cronulla Sharks in 2015 after signing a new two-year contract.

Bukuya left the Cronulla club to play for the New Zealand Warriors, however he was released from the final year of that contract on compassionate grounds to return to Sydney and subsequently took up offer to return to the Sharks.

The returning Shark and budding poet offered a unique quote in relation to his homecoming.

“Footy is like love. If you love someone, let them go and if they come back, it’s meant to be,” Bukuya said.

And on a more serious note, he added.

“I’m happy to be wearing the sky blue, black and white again and I’m looking forward to it. We’ll definitely be a competitive team this year.”

Also adding to the Sharks depth of talent is the signing of highly-rated young Brisbane half back Todd Murphy.

The 24-year-old Murphy arrives via Queensland Cup team the Norths Devils where he was recently adjudged the runner up for the Courier-Mail Medal, an award presented to the Intrust Super Cup’s best and fairest player in the Queensland Cup competition.

Murphy, who has signed on for one season, joined the Sharks full time training squad this week and was excited about the chance presented to him.
