In a classic game of Rugby League news, the Warriors have scored a try with the signing of Jett Cleary, the younger brother of Penrith Panthers star Nathan Cleary.
This move comes as a blow to the Panthers, who are already reeling from a sad family development.
Jett Cleary, a 19-year-old half and son of coach Ivan Cleary, has inked a three-year deal with the NZ club, solidifying his place in their lineup for the foreseeable future.
This news will surely have Rugby League fans talking, as speculation had been swirling about the Warriors' interest in Jett after a failed attempt to recruit him last year.
With dreams of playing first grade in mind, Jett Cleary is set to follow in the footsteps of his father Ivan, who made a name for himself as the Warriors' most-capped coach.
Ivan's illustrious tenure included a trip to the 2011 grand final, cementing his place in Rugby League history.
Warriors chief executive Cameron George expressed his excitement about the signing, emphasizing the strong connection between the Cleary family and the club.
"It's a special thrill to have the Cleary name back with us," George said in a statement.
"We're truly grateful for the cooperation from Penrith and Ivan in making this possible."
As the Cleary legacy continues to grow in the world of Rugby League, Jett's move to the Warriors is sure to shake up the playing field and keep fans on the edge of their seats.
Only time will tell how this new chapter in the Cleary family's Rugby League journey will unfold.
