"He is a young, hungry, hard-working forward with NRL experience already under his belt."

Yates said it was a great opportunity to be able to play in the Super League.

"I am looking forward to meeting all the boys here and helping to keep the club in the top level next season," he added.

The Newcastle local turned out for the Knights on 25 occasions over the past two NRL seasons.
