Sydney Roosters grand final winning utility player Daniel Mortimer will join the Gold Coast Titans squad tomorrow after signing a contract for the rest of this season and 2015-16.

The Titans are appreciative that the Roosters have agreed to release the 25-year-old son of one of the famous Mortimer brothers of Canterbury fame in the 1980s, Peter. Mortimer said he is looking forward to taking on a new opportunity on the Gold Coast.

Mortimer played off the bench in the Roosters’ premiership winning side after first forging his name with the Parramatta Eels, and has played 91 NRL games since his debut in 2009. He has played in grand finals for the Eels (2009) and Roosters.

“I’m so grateful for my time at the Roosters; I have so many great memories, especially last year,” said Mortimer. “Everyone who’s a part of the club will always be special to me.”

Mortimer, who has played primarily off the bench as a hooker in his two seasons with the Roosters, has been signed as a halfback/five-eighth an area where the Titans have lost Aidan Sezer and now Beau Henry with long term injuries. Albert Kelly has also been out injured.
