The South Sydney Rabbitohs have scored a major signing, with the confirmation of young gun Jamie Humphreys joining the squad.
This rising star from the Manly Sea Eagles, who recently made his NRL debut against the Newcastle Knights, has inked a two-year deal with the Rabbitohs, taking him through the 2025 and 2026 seasons.
Humphreys, known primarily as a halfback but versatile enough to slot into other positions like dummy half and five-eighth, is gearing up for a fierce battle for the number seven jersey at South Sydney.
With competitors like Lachlan Ilias, Dean Hawkins, and the English import Lewis Dodd in the mix, the departure of Damien Cook and the shift of Peter Mamouzelos to hooker could open up opportunities for Humphreys to secure a permanent role as a utility player off the bench.
This transfer marks a new chapter in Humphreys' career, as he aims to make his mark with the Rabbitohs and contribute to their success on the field.
The competition is sure to be intense, but this young talent is ready to take on the challenge and shine in the cardinal and myrtle jersey.
