The Bulldogs have added another piece to their forward pack for next season, with the signing of Brisbane Broncos utility, John Asiata, on a one-year deal.
Having made his debut for the Cowboys in 2014, Asiata, was part of their Premiership winning side in 2015, going on to play 128 matches for the club before joining the Broncos last season.
The 28 year-old has represented both Tonga and Samoa at International level, and has shown a versatility in his game that can see him cover a number of positions.
He is also renowned for the charity work he does off the field, having twice been the recipient of the Cowboys' Clubman of the Year Award.
Bulldogs Chief Executive, Aaron Warburton, believes that Asiata will be a tremendous addition to the club's forward pack for next season:
"By signing someone of John's experience and versatility for next season, we believe that we have found a player who will be a great addition to our club.
With forwards such as Tevita Pangai Junior, Paul Vaughan and Josh Cook joining us, plus retaining a strong nucleus from our current squad, we think that John will bring a level of skill and leadership that will greatly complement that group.
John, is also extremely active in regards to his work in the community, and that is something that was extremely important to us.
We are really excited about the squad that we have assembled and can't wait to see them together for pre-season."
