North Queensland Cowboys prop Francis Molo will join St George Illawarra Dragons on a three-year deal from 2022.

The 26-year-old, who was linked with a move to St Helens last year, has made 58 NRL appearances for Brisbane Broncos and the Cowboys. He has won two caps for the Cook Islands.

Dragons’ general manager of football Ben Haran said: “Francis is a proven player who displays the exact characteristics you want from a front-rower week-in, week-out.

“Francis is coming to the prime of his career considering his age and experience in the NRL. Throughout his time at the Cowboys he has proven his durability in handling the responsibility and role as a first grade footballer.

“There is absolutely no doubt that Francis will add value to our squad and complement our roster for the 2022 season and beyond.”
