The Warrington Wolves have confirmed the acquisition of talented prop Toby Crosby from the Penrith Panthers, effective for the 2027 season.
Crosby had an impressive run with the New Zealand Warriors in the highly competitive reserve grade during the 2025 season, helping the team clinch both the NSW Cup and State Championship titles.
In preparation for the 2026 season, the Panthers brought Crosby into their roster, allowing him to excel within one of the NRL's top-tier systems.
As a formidable young forward, Crosby is currently averaging 49.3 post-contact metres per match in 2026 and is set to become a powerful presence in the Wolves' lineup under coach Sam Burgess.
Defensively, Crosby boasts an impressive 96.8% tackle efficiency, reflecting the diligent work ethic that characterizes successful teams.
"I'm incredibly excited to be joining the Warrington Wolves. Ever since I was young, I've had the ambition to play professional footy in England, and the approach from Warrington made me consider it as the next step of my career," Crosby stated in an official release from the Wolves.
"The chance to work under Sam Burgess was a huge attraction. He's someone I've looked up to for a long time, and I think he'll really help me develop."
"I'm very blessed to go from an open trial, to spending time in both the Warriors and Panthers systems. Now I'm looking forward to making an impact for Warrington."
Additionally, the Wolves have also secured prop Mitchell Prest, a product of the Canberra Raiders, who played a key role in the club's SG Ball title victory in 2021.
