Source: www.bulldogs.com.auThe Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs have retained the services of Michael Lett for 2012 while centre/winger Luke MacDougall and prop James Gavet have also come on board ahead of the official start to pre-season training today.
Lett started in three NRL matches for the Bulldogs in 2011, scoring two tries, while he finished the NSW Cup season with a premiership after crossing for a double in the Grand Final.
Those two tries in the decider took Lett to a grand total of 28 for the year, scored in just 20 matches.
His retention on a one year deal gives the Bulldogs strike power out wide whilst also giving head coach Jim Dymock another option in the outside backs, with Lett having the ability to play wing, fullback and centre.
Gavet joins the Bulldogs from the New Zealand Warriors, where his form for feeder team and Bulldogs NSW Cup Grand Final opponent the Auckland Vulcans saw him judged the prop of the year in the NSW Cup.
The 22 year old has signed a two year deal with the Bulldogs.
Although uncapped at NRL level, Gavet has benefited from three years in the Warriors program, the past two of which have seen him in full time training with their NRL squad. He also featured in 18 matches for the Warriors Toyota Cup side during 2009.
MacDougall makes his return to action with the Bulldogs after sitting out the 2011 season following his decision to cut short a stint with English Rugby Union club Saracens in March.
A World Club Championship winner with the Melbourne Storm in early 2010, MacDougall started his career with Cronulla in 2002 and has also had stints at South Sydney, St. George-Illawarra, Newcastle and the Storm.
He is the youngest of the footballing MacDougall family, alongside older brothers Adam (Newcastle, South Sydney, NSW & Australia) and Ben (Western Suburbs, Newcastle, Northern Eagles, Manly, Melbourne & Scotland RU).
"It's great to have Letty, Luke and James on deck ahead of pre-season," Bulldogs head coach Jim Dymock said. "Letty has got a heap of pace and he can certainly sniff out a try, blokes like him are hard to find.
"We're a bit light on in the outside backs so having him and Luke on board will be important for us. Luke's a quality player with 70 NRL matches under his belt, and like Letty he's a proven finisher. With Tim Lafai overcoming a shoulder reconstruction Luke's going to give us another option in the centres, alongside Tim, Josh Morris and Jono Wright.
"James on the other hand is a big unit in the middle of the field and he's got a great offload on him. We got plenty of opportunities to look at him first hand during the NSW Cup season and he'll be a valuable addition to the squad."

Source: www.melbournestorm.com.auMelbourne Storm has completed the signings of former Parramatta Eels forward Todd Lowrie and ex-Newcastle outside back Luke MacDougall.
The Storm can also confirm it has signed former Bulldogs prop John Kite.
Kite and MacDougall have already begun pre-season training with Lowrie to kick-start his Storm career on November 30.
The trio will add further depth to the Storm's ranks alongside fellow signings Chase Stanley and Atelea Vea.
Storm coach Craig Bellamy said: "We're confident these players can make a positive impact here in Melbourne next year.
"Todd and Luke are both accomplished NRL players while John is a big body with huge upside.
"We're very comfortable with where we're at with regards to our squad for next year."
Lowrie and Kite have both signed two-year deals that will keep them in Melbourne until the end of 2011.
MacDougall has signed a one-year contract.
Lowrie, who played for Parramatta in this year's grand final, said moving to Melbourne presented an exciting challenge for him.
"I'm thrilled at being able to join such a successful club, particularly given the way the Eels ended last season," said Lowrie, who began his career at Newcastle.
"It's a new beginning for me and I'm excited about the challenge that lies ahead."
Bellamy has also promoted seven members of the Storm's premiership-winning under-20s side into the NRL squad for the coming season - Luke Kelly, Jesse Bromwich, Matt Duffie, Billy Rogers, Sam Joe, Dane Chisholm and Gareth Widdop
Storm started pre-season training on Monday with the first group of 19 players returning from the off-season break.
