Michael Ennis, Trent Hodkinson and Jamal Idris will return while Jonathan Wright will make his debut for the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs in Friday night's clash with the Wests Tigers at Campbelltown Stadium.

Wright, who joined the Club from Parramatta prior to the start of the 2011 season, will make his first Telstra Premiership appearance for the Bulldogs after he was named by head coach Kevin Moore to replace Michael Lett on the left wing on Friday.

Ennis, who missed Sunday's loss to Cronulla with an ear injury suffered in State of Origin two, will return at hooker having last played for the Bulldogs in the round 12 win over the Gold Coast, as will halfback Hodkinson, who has served a two match suspension stemming from the win over the Titans.

Idris slots back into the centres after he was not considered for selection for the Cronulla game.

The Bulldogs will also have Corey Payne to add starch from the interchange bench, while Greg Eastwood will provide impact with Michael Hodgson to start the match at prop.

The Bulldogs Toyota Cup side will benefit from Idris' return to the NRL with Tim Lafai ? who replaced Idris against the Sharks - returning to their side this week.

Also back is versatile half TJ Taotua, who replaces Samisoni Langi at five eighth.

The Bulldogs NSW Cup side will have the benefit of Michael Lett, Ben Roberts, Josh Reynolds and Grant Millington, all of whom return from the NRL for Sunday's clash with North Sydney, while regular first graders Mickey Paea, Jake Foster and Bryson Goodwin will also turn out against the Bears.

Bulldogs announce three signings for 2011

The Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs have ensured depth and versatility will be a feature of their NRL squad for 2011, with Grant Millington, Michael Lett, and Jonathon Wright all agreeing to join the Club next season.

Millington, a prop or second rower, joins the Bulldogs after three seasons of NRL football with the Cronulla Sharks, where he played 23 of his 49 career NRL matches in 2010.

Lett has spent the last three seasons at St George-Illawarra after starting his career with the Sydney Roosters. Equally at home at wing, centre, or fullback, he has proven his worth when called upon, crossing for four tries in eight games for the Dragons.

Wright is a centre or winger who made his NRL debut for the Parramatta Eels midway through last season. He played five matches during 2009, including weeks one and two of the finals, and backed that up with seven appearances in 2010.

"Grant, Michael and Jonathon are all handy acquisitions due to their experience at NRL level and their ability to each cover more than one position," Bulldogs head coach Kevin Moore said.

"All three players add plenty of quality to our squad for next season and I can see them staking a claim for selection in first grade right from the start of the year."

Millington and Wright have each signed for 2011 & 12, while Lett's deal is for the 2011 season.
