Manly five-eighth Travis Burns will head to North Queensland after signing a three year deal with the Cowboys.
Burns - a 22 year old Queenslander born in Texas - has played 46 games in the NRL and been in outstanding form this season.
His signing comes just hours after veteran North Queensland playmaker Jason Smith advised club officials that 2007 would be his last season in the top grade.
Cowboys CEO Peter Parr believes Travis is a great acquisition for 2008.
"We are delighted that Travis has decided to play for the Cowboys. He is a very good footballer and a tough, tenacious competitor," Parr said.
"Given his age, the position he plays and that he is from Queensland, I am sure he will be a wonderful asset for us."
Burns is also eager to take up his new appointment.
"I am excited about the prospects of the Cowboys in the future and am looking forward to playing outside Johnathan Thurston and Matt Bowen, I simply can't wait," Burns said.
