Rabbitohs Sign David Kidwell for Three Years
The Real Insurance Rabbitohs have announced the signing of current New Zealand international David Kidwell to a three-year contract today, beginning the Rabbitohs on-field recruitment for season 2007.
Kidwell, 29, has played 158 first grade games to date as well as having 18 Tests caps for New Zealand, his most recent in this years 2006 Anzac Test.
The 188cm, 104kg back-rower is also part of the Storms leadership group, qualities the Rabbitohs are looking for Kidwell to bring to the Club in 2007.
David is a very experienced and respected player in the NRL and his ability to lead and his on-field toughness are things that we will be looking for him to bring to our Club, Rabbitohs CEO Shane Richardson said today.
David will join fellow New Zealand internationals David Faalogo and Joe Galuvao in our ranks next season.
"We are looking forward to having David on board and wish him the best of luck with the Storm for the remainder of the season.
Kidwell is also looking forward to joining the Rabbitohs later in the year.
I had the opportunity to see the Powerpoint presentation from Peter Holmes à Court and Shane Richardson and to see the vision they have for the Club first hand, Kidwell said.
Frankly, its all very exciting and I look forward to being a part of the rebuilding of the legendary Rabbitohs.
"They have a strong group of young players coming through the grades and Im really looking forward to playing with them next year.
South Sydneys Executive Chairman Peter Holmes à Court says Kidwells signing is an addition to some of the big off-field signings made by the Rabbitohs already this season.
David Kidwells signing is a great start to our on-field recruitment, Mr Holmes à Court said.
Add his signing to the acquisition of Jason Taylor as Assistant Coach, Mark Hughes as Recruitment Manager, Errol Alcott as Director of Athletic Performance and Anthony Mundine as our Indigenous Liaison Officer, and you can see that we are beginning to put together a team of players, coaching and football staff to take us to the next level as a Rugby League Club.
