Masoe to join Saints

test

St Helens have agreed a deal to sign Penrith Panthers forward Mose Masoe on a two-year contract.

Masoe, 24, will join the club for the 2014 season and link up with current team-mate Luke Walsh, who will also be moving to Langtree Park next term.

The versatile Kiwi can play anywhere in the forward pack and coach Nathan Brown expects him to be a useful addition.

Brown said, “Mose is a big forward who will add a lot of size to our pack next year.

“He is young, still developing and will complement the squad we are putting together for 2014.”

Masoe made his senior debut for Sydney Roosters in 2010 and joined Penrith for the start of the 2013 NRL campaign, but will leave the Panthers midway through a two-year deal.
