Warrington Wolves have signed stand-off Blake Austin to a three-year deal starting from next season.
Austin will leave Canberra Raiders at the end of the NRL season to join Warrington, having become a key player for the Australian capital club since joining in 2015. He previously had stints with Penrith Panthers and Wests Tigers.
He has made 80 appearances for the Raiders and scored 42 tries in 114 NRL games in total.
"I'm really excited to be joining the Warrington Wolves. No one I've spoken to has had a bad word to say about the club," Austin told Warrington's official website.
"I'm stoked I get the chance to come over in what I believe can be the best years of my footy career, and not a cameo at the tail end of my career. My partner and I have always wanted to experience England and the Super League, and can't wait to embrace the Wolves and everything Warrington has to offer."
Head coach Steve Price added: "When I was fortunate to be assistant coach alongside Shane Flanagan at Cronulla Sharks for the semi-final down at Canberra, we heavily revolved our game plan around Blake as he's certainly an excitement machine.
"This is a massive coup for our club as a number of clubs were in for him in both the UK and Australia which says a lot about the quality of player he is; to have that much interest. We are always on the lookout for quality personnel and so this is a great coup for our club to get Blake over the line."
