Dylan Farrell, a former centre for the South Sydney Rabbitohs and St George Illawarra Dragons in the NRL, has signed with a new club, allowing him to extend his rugby league career into the upcoming season.
After last playing in the NRL in 2015, Farrell will join the Woy Woy Roosters, who participate in the Rugby League Central Coast competition. The Roosters are coming off a season where they finished sixth on the ladder, with the Kincumber Colts winning the premiership.
At 34 years old, Farrell adds considerable experience to the team, having played a total of 90 NRL matches-70 with the Rabbitohs and 20 with the Dragons. Over his career in first-grade, he scored 32 tries before announcing his retirement from professional rugby league at the conclusion of the 2015 season.
"The Woy Woy Roosters are excited to announce the return of ex-NRL star and proud Roosters junior Dylan Farrell," a club statement read.
"From the local fields of Woy Woy to the big lights of the NRL with the Rabbitohs and Dragons, Dylan is bringing elite-level experience, professionalism, and a deep love for the club back where it all began.
"A true Rooster returning home. Big body. Big game. Big impact."
