In a move that has sent shockwaves through the Rugby League world, former Parramatta Eels skipper Clint Gutherson has officially inked a three-year contract with the St George Illawarra Dragons.
This signing, set to commence with the Red V's upcoming pre-season, will see Gutherson don the famous red and white jersey until at least the end of 2027.
The negotiation process was no walk in the park, with rumors circulating that talks were as slow as a prop forward trudging up the field.
The Dragons initially pushed for a shorter two-year deal, but Gutherson and his team stood their ground and managed to secure a three-year agreement, much to the delight of the fullback.
This signing is a strategic move in Coach Shane Flanagan's playbook, as he continues to reshape the Dragons squad.
Gutherson's salary will now take a hefty chunk of the financial burden left behind by the departure of Ben Hunt, who recently parted ways with the club.
With this new chapter in his career, Gutherson is poised to make his mark on the field for the Dragons, bringing his skills and leadership to a team hungry for success.
As the Rugby League world eagerly awaits the start of the season, the addition of Gutherson to the Dragons lineup promises to inject some much-needed excitement and talent into the mix.
