The Sharks have signed international Josh Dugan on a four-year deal starting from 2018.

The new contract for Dugan, who has played seven Tests for Australia and nine State of Origin matches for NSW, means he has committed his future the club until the end of the 2021 season.

Sharks coach Shane Flanagan was delighted to have secured the services of one of the leading outside backs currently playing in the NRL competition.

“Josh will bring quality and experience to our backline next year and to sign the current Origin and Australian Test centre is a major coup for the club and for our future,” Flanagan said.

“We have a number of exciting young backs coming through our grades and Josh’s experience will be invaluable in helping with their continued development. Josh has just turned 27 and I am confident his best football is still ahead of him."

Flanagan went on to confirm that Dugan is excited while welcoming the challenge of playing where best suits the Sharks team.

“He is looking forward to being part of the development of players such as Val Holmes and as to where he might play for next year, quite simply he is the current Test right centre and who can also play fullback which is a bonus for our club,” Flanagan added.

Similarly, Sharks Captain Paul Gallen was quick to welcome Dugan to the club and had no doubt he would be an asset in the years to come.

“We are wrapped to have him,” Gallen said. “I’ve been lucky enough to play rep footy with Josh over the years and he is a good guy and an outstanding team player.

“He is going to be an enormous boost to our team and Josh will be a great benefit to the club.”
its a shit deal in comparison to what we offered you dickheads $750,000 per year to play centre I think we offered over 800,000 for him to play centre

Well done Mickeylane! You called it. Only just off.
And before a game was played this year you predicted top 4 finish! I must admit that I thought you were crazy but you are gonna be pretty close with that prediction too!

Timing for the announcement was good albeit the decision was a long time coming. Not announced before Saints game last night and with a bye next week.

Cody Walker excites me. Just think of him more as a half or five eighth than as a fullback. Not sure where he would play. Johnston is a winger for mine. Not a fullback.
