Wakefield sign Steve Southern
Wed August 10, 2011
Wakefield Trinity Wildcats have confirmed the signing of Newcastle forward Steve Southern on a three-year contract.

The 29-year-old, who is normally deployed in the back row, has made over a hundred appearances in the NRL for both Newcastle and North Queensland.

His signing follows on from yesterday's news that the club have tied Crusaders RL centre Vince Mellars to a similar deal.

Wildcats chief executive James Elston said: "Steve is a great addition to our squad for the next three years, his NRL experience will provide a great boost to many of our younger players and his ruthless playing style will be great for our supporters to see.

"I have heard many great things about Steve's work ethic and he has been a popular member with both fans and players at every team he has been at, I'm sure he will be a perfect fit at the Wildcats. I look forward to his arrival and seeing him in action for Wakefield."

Southern added: "I'm really excited about my future at Wakefield Trinity Wildcats, with a new owner, new Super League licence and new coach it really is the start of something new and I'm stoked to be a part of that."

Wakefield are still to confirm who their coach will be next year, with Hull FC's Richard Agar denying reports he was set to replace the outgoing John Kear.

The Wildcats have also tied versatile New Zealander Motu Tony to a new one-year deal, with the option of a second.

The former Tri Nations and Carnegie Challenge Cup winner has endured an injury-hit first season with the club, and had been considering a return home, as well as other options.

The Newcastle Knights have bolstered their forward pack by securing the signature of hardworking North Queensland Cowboys back rower Steve Southern for the 2011 season.

Southern, 28, is a Dapto junior who progressed through the junior representative ranks at St George Illawarra before signing with the North Queensland Cowboys in 2004.

After seven seasons including 123 NRL matches and a Grand Final appearance in 2005, the man affectionately known as 'Bluey' has developed a reputation as a tough player with a no nonsense approach, making his connection to the Newcastle Knights a perfect fit.

"Steve is a great acquisition to our club and I'm really looking forward to working with him when we reassemble our squad in early November," Knights Coach Rick Stone said.

"Bluey has an unquestionable work ethic with a relentless attention to detail which fits our club culture and adds some invaluable experience to our relatively young squad."

Southern will join the Newcastle Knights squad in early November when they resume training for the off season.
