The Newcastle Knights have secured a new signing aimed at bolstering their middle forward lineup for the upcoming 2026 season.
According to reports from zerotackle.com, this addition comes during a period of significant roster changes for the Knights.
Despite making the NRL Finals in back-to-back years, the team is undergoing a rebuild while managing salary cap constraints.
Several players, including Leo Thompson (Bulldogs), Jayden Brailey (Raiders), and Kai Pearce-Paul (Tigers), will be leaving the club at the end of the current season.
To counter these departures, the Knights have made a noteworthy acquisition by signing Dylan Brown from the Parramatta Eels.
This move follows the club's recent challenges in securing forward signings, including missed opportunities with players like Ethan Bullemor and Thomas Hazelton.
The Knights are focused on strengthening their roster as they prepare for the future.
