Melbourne are set to sign their second player in as many days with Tongan international prop Albert Vete close to joining the premiers.

Craig Bellamy is desperate for big men following an injury crisis that has seen Sam Kasiano, Dale Finucane and Jesse Bromwich all sidelined.

WWOS reported yesterday that Penrith utility Tom Eisenhuth is joining the Storm from Penrith.

And he is set to be followed by Vete, who at 25 has yet to fulfil his potential at the Warriors.

Unable to break into Stephen Kearney’s top squad on a regular basis this year, Vete may benefit for a change of clubs.

Bellamy has a long history of getting the best out of ‘no frills’ forwards and will relish getting his hands on Vete.

The big prop has been in and out of the Warriors’ top side since debuting in 2015 but has plenty of ability and has played two Tests for Tonga.
