Brandon Smith is on his way to South Sydney after being officially granted an immediate release by the Sydney Roosters.
Smith, who made 41 appearances for the Roosters before a knee injury sidelined him last season, is expected to begin train with the Rabbitohs as he targets a return next month.
The New Zealand international is expected to provide cover at hooker and in the back row for Souths.
“We appreciate Brandon’s contributions over the last two and a half years, he was playing some very good football before he was sidelined by his knee injury,” Roosters head of recruitment Daniel Anderson, said:
“With his return to play not too far away, we thank Brandon and extend our best wishes in the next chapter of his career.”
