GOLD Coast have officially confirmed the signing of Ryley Jacks in a move to bolster the NRL club’s playmaking stocks.

Jacks will join the Titans this off-season on a one-year deal having played 25 first grade games for the Melbourne Storm across the past two seasons.

The 26-year-old halfback hails from Brisbane and has previously been based on the Gold Coast, playing for Burleigh in the Intrust Super Cup.

He was picked up by the Storm after a stunning 2016 season for the Sunshine Coast Falcons in which he scored 19 tries.

“Ryley is a Queenslander who is coming home and looking for an opportunity in the NRL,” said Titans coach Garth Brennan.

“He’s been part of a fantastic system down in Melbourne and I’m sure he’ll bring with him that professionalism and desire to succeed.

“He adds some much needed depth to our halves and I’m looking forward to him joining the club.”

The Titans now have a number of halves options at their disposal for 2019, including Jacks, Ash Taylor, AJ Brimson, Tyrone Roberts and Tyrone Peachey.
