The Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs have officially announced the acquisition of three new players for the 2026 season, aiming to secure their first premiership title since 2004.
In a statement released on Monday, the club confirmed that they have signed Fletcher Baker from the Brisbane Broncos, Gordon Chan Kum Tong from the Manly Sea Eagles, and Sean O'Sullivan from The Dolphins.
O'Sullivan, who was part of the Penrith Panthers' premiership-winning team in 2022, will join the Bulldogs' Top 30 roster on a one-year contract, which includes a mutual option for the subsequent season.
In contrast, Baker and Chan Kum Tong will be placed on the club's development list for the upcoming season. Chan Kum Tong is expected to transition to the Top 30 roster in 2027.
With the addition of these three players, the Bulldogs still have three open positions on their Top 30 roster for the next season. They also gain salary cap relief due to Jethro Rinakama's injury sustained during the 2025 Pacific Championships with Fiji.
"We're very pleased to welcome Sean, Gordon and Fletcher to the Bulldogs family," said Phil Gould, Bulldogs GM of Football. "Sean has proven to be a reliable half in the NRL with a great footy IQ, which we believe will be beneficial for the young playmakers in the squad."
