The Perth Bears are set to secure a significant addition with the signing of four-time premiership winner Scott Sorensen.
As reported by the Daily Telegraph, Sorensen has finalized a two-year agreement to join the new NRL team, with an official announcement anticipated shortly.
He will join fellow teammate Liam Henry, establishing himself as a cornerstone signing for the Bears as they build their inaugural squad.
There has been ongoing speculation regarding Sorensen's potential move, with assistant coach Ben Gardiner openly expressing interest in him after collaborating at the Panthers during the 2023 and 2024 seasons.
Sorensen brings a wealth of experience, enhancing the team alongside other notable players like Toby Sexton, Tyran Wishart, Nick Meaney, and Josh Curran.
This move underlines coach Mal Meninga's strategy to create a balanced team featuring both youthful talent and seasoned players.
The Bears are diligently working to finalize their top 30 roster ahead of the start of their first preseason training in November this year.
