Axed Newcastle centre Jesse Ramien is set to sign to return to the Cronulla Sharks next season in a move he hopes will re-ignite his career.
Fox Sports has been told Ramien is set to sign a four-year deal worth $2 million with the NRL currently examining the contract before it is rubber-stamped.
Despite well-documented salary cap challenges after the Sharks self-reported breaches dating back to 2013, Cronulla is believed to be cap compliant at present.
This means the club is expected to be cleared to sign Ramien, the young gun centre who enjoyed a breakout season in the Shire in 2018.
Despite the NRL’s salary cap for next season increasing to $9.8 million per club, Cronulla’s limit will be $9.45m due to salary cap punishments.
The interesting twist for Cronulla will be how coach John Morris attempts to restructure his backline for next season in order to accommodate Ramien.
The Sharks are expected to try and shift a couple of players over the summer.
After an unhappy 11-month tenure in Newcastle, the Knights opted to cut Ramien loose.
The North Queensland Cowboys and Wests Tigers were also keen on the centre but the Sharks was always his preference.
The Knights even performed an 11th hour backflip after coach Nathan Brown was pushed out of the club but Ramien rejected the approach.
