The Sydney Roosters have continued their stunning spending spree by signing Bulldogs winger Brett Morris.

Morris was linked with a return to his junior club, St George Illawarra, but has instead come to terms with the Roosters. His signing comes just days after Wide World of Sports revealed the Roosters have signed English Test winger Ryan Hall, which the club admitted 24 hours later.

An announcement on the Morris signing is expected in the next couple of days, but the deal is done.

As well as the two wing stars - who have scored an amazing 370 plus tries between them - the Roosters have also signed Souths and Blues State of Origin back-rower Angus Crichton for 2019.

Morris, 31, has spent the past four seasons at the Bulldogs but is another victim of the club’s salary cap fiasco.

The club’s previous administration put a host of big-name stars on heavily back-ended contracts three or four years ago and it has now come back to bite the Bulldogs big time.
