Exciting outside back Hymel Hunt has signed on with the nib Newcastle Knights for the 2019 season.



The 24-year-old has inked a one-year-deal after leaving South Sydney where he spent the last three seasons.



Able to play centre or wing, Knights Coach Nathan Brown says the addition of Hunt only strengthens the Club's roster.



"Hymel's been in two good systems, in Melbourne and Souths," Brown said.
