Captain Ibis
Squad Member
Paul Vaughan will resurrect his career as a Bulldog after agreeing to join the club next season.
It is understood Vaughan will accept a 12-month deal as he tries to re-establish himself as an NRL player.
He was banned for eight games, fined $50,000 and eventually sacked by the Dragons after hosting his now infamous BBQ.
It is expected the games he misses this year will count towards his suspension despite not being a registered NRL player.
The NRL will consider an application from the Bulldogs in order to have him available for round one.
The Dragons ripped up the final year of his deal worth about $800,000. He will join the Bulldogs for less than half of that.
Ex-Dragons teammate Matt Dufty, who was also suspended for attending Vaughan’s house, will join him at Canterbury next year.
The Bulldogs have added some real star power to their forward stocks. Vaughan and Tevita Pangai Jnr will be new additions to a pack which has Josh Jackson, Adam Elliott, Luke Thompson and Jack Hetherington already at the club.
