THE Titans have secured their first signing for 2017 with England international Dan Sarginson to join the Gold Coast on a two-year deal.

The Titans will announce on Wednesday the acquisition of Sarginson from Wigan.

The Titans view the 22-year-old as a specialist centre who can also deputise at fullback if needed.

Sarginson was born in Perth before moving to England as a two-year-old and has notched up more than 100 Super League matches for London and Wigan.

The Titans were confident they had secured Sarginson last week but Wigan made a last-ditch effort to keep him.

Coach Neil Henry is rebuilding the Gold Coast’s roster after 17 players left the club from 2015.

He could possibly add to his squad this season if a suitable player becomes available.
