MANLY have signed Melbourne prop Richie Fa'aoso on a two-year deal for the start of the 2013 NRL season.

The 28-year-old, who joined the Storm last month from Newcastle on a short-term deal, has also spent time with Penrith, Parramatta and Sydney Roosters.

He said he was honoured to have agreed terms with the NRL premiers Manly.

"I'm looking forward to the challenge of establishing myself within such a strong team," he said.

Sea Eagles coach Geoff Toovey said Fa'aoso would be a boost to the Manly forward pack.

"Richie will be a strong addition to the team next year and provide some extra depth for us," Toovey said.
