Poasa Faamausili joins St George Illawarra Dragons

St George Illawarra Dragons have signed prop Poasa Faamausili from Sydney Roosters on a two-year deal.

The 24-year-old made his first-team debut for the Roosters in 2018 and has played 28 NRL games to date, including a four-match loan spell at New Zealand Warriors.

Dragons’ NRL recruitment manager Ian Millward said: “Poasa is a highly talented, emerging front-rower that we are excited to secure for the next two seasons.

“Incoming head coach Anthony Griffin was keen to get Poasa on board and saw him as a point of difference to our forward pack, with his genuine leg speed and physicality.

“Given his experiences in the Sydney Roosters’ system, we are confident there is plenty of improvement in Poasa. We must also thank the Roosters for their co-operation with Poasa’s signing.”
