The Warriors have bolstered their depleted forward stocks before the resumption of the NRL, bringing Canberra Raiders youngster Jack Murchie to the club.
The 22-year-old prop arrives as an emergency replacement following a string of injuries in the New Zealand side. Murchie will add versatility to the Warriors' pack, capable of also playing in the second row and through the middle.
Murchie, who has amassed three NRL games for the Canberra Raiders, has joined the team on the Central Coast on a one-year deal, putting pen to paper after training with the Warriors on the Central Coast this morning.
"Jack joins us with an opportunity and expectation to play NRL," said coach Stephen Kearney.
"He comes highly recommended and we look forward to giving us some depth leading into our return to the competition next week."
The signing comes after season-ending injuries to prop Bunty Afoa, Jazz Tevaga and Jackson Frei (knee) and Leeson Ah Mau (pectoral muscle).
