Storm prop Donnelly signs with Titans effective immediately

Powerhouse Melbourne Front Rower Ian Donnelly has signed a two-year contract with the Jetstar Gold Coast Titans effective immediately.

At 185cm and 110kgs, Donnelly is a powerful, disciplined Prop with a huge appetite for doing the hard yards.

An instrumental member of the Melbourne Storms successful forward pack last season, Ian will commence training with the Jetstar Gold Coast Titans tomorrow morning and will be available to play in the side's next match against West Tigers.

For Coach John Cartwright, Donnelly's arrival can't come quick enough following season ending injuries to Michael Henderson and Brad Meyers.

Cartwright said, "We had actually looked at the possibility of signing Ian during the early stages of assembling our team because we recognised that his size and strength would be a huge asset to the side, so to get him at this stage of the season and know that he is also on the books for 2008 is a real bonus.

"Ian was an important player during Melbourne's charge towards the grand final last year, he has played very well for them so far this season, and I am confident he will slot straight into our system and provide Luke Bailey with some much needed assistance up front."


For Ian the move to the Gold Coast is the home coming he has been waiting for.

Donnelly said, "I am a North Coast boy from Ballina, so this is a dream come true for me to come up and play Rugby League with the Jetstar Gold Coast Titans right in my families' back yard."

"The Titans look to be a very ambitious club, they have already established a first class roster and I can't wait to get there and make a contribution."

Melbourne Storm front-rower Ian Donnelly has been cleared of any wrong-doing by the NRL judiciary panel regarding eye-gouging accusations levelled at him by Penrith Panthers back-rower Frank Pritchard.

However, Donnelly has been handed a Grade 1 contrary conduct charge stemming from a tackle made by Donnelly on Pritchard in the game between the two clubs on Sunday afternoon at Olympic Park.

Melbourne Storm CEO Brian Waldron has expressed disappointment at the outburst by Pritchard.

"We're extremely disappointed Pritchard would question the integrity of Ian Donnelly," said Waldron.

"His actions in making these unfounded accusations could be seen as bringing the game into disrepute.

"We are happy to cop criticism for genuine incidents; however we will not tolerate unfounded accusations that potentially damage the reputation of one of our players.

"And we will continually defend our players against such accusations."


The Grade 1 contrary conduct charge, on this occasion, carries a 159 point penalty resulting in a one week ban should the club take an early guilty plea.

"Ian and the Storm will consider the charges, and the club will make a decision on whether to contest them over the next 24 hours," said Waldron.
