JASON CAYLESS SIGNS FOR TWO YEARS
Wednesday, 14 October 2009
Wests Tigers is pleased to announce the significant signing of representative prop Jason Cayless for seasons 2010 and 2011.
Cayless will renew his career in the NRL following four successful years with St Helens. During this time, Cayless enjoyed English Super League premiership and Challenge Cup success.
A former NRL premiership winning front-rower and Kiwi international, Cayless will add plenty of muscle to an already strong Wests Tigers forward pack.
Cayless previously played in the NRL with the Sydney Roosters and Parramatta Eels.
“It is great to be back in Australia playing in the NRL competition with a club heading in the right direction such as the Wests Tigers,’’ Cayless said.
“I can’t wait to play with the likes of Benji Marshall, Robbie Farah, Gareth Ellis and the boys under an excellent coach in Tim Sheens.”
Sheens said Cayless was a quality signing for the club.
“Jason will add a lot of depth and experience to the pack and will provide invaluable leadership to the strong crop of exciting young forwards coming through the ranks at Wests Tigers,’’ he said.
