Penrith Panthers have signed forward Scott Sorensen from Cronulla Sharks on a one-year deal.

The 27-year-old made his NRL debut for the Sharks in 2014 and made 37 appearances for the club in total, as well as having a stint with Canberra Raiders in 2017.

Sorensen said: “I’m extremely grateful to have an opportunity here at Panthers.

“As an outsider looking in I was always impressed by the culture and camaraderie between the Penrith players.

“Getting the chance to be part of that and to work on my game in a new environment is something I’m really excited about.”

Panthers general manager rugby league, Matt Cameron, said: “Scott is a quality individual and we’re thrilled to have him pull on Panthers colours.

“His professionalism and leadership skills are an asset for our club, as demonstrated by the immediate impression he has made on our players and staff.

“In football terms we believe Scott is yet to reach his full potential and his acquisition adds valuable depth to our squad ahead of the 2021 season.”
