Wests Tigers are pleased to announce the signing of talented outside back Adam Doueihi for the coming four seasons.

The four-year deal will see the Wests Tigers local junior join the club effective immediately after being released from his contract by the South Sydney Rabbitohs.

The deal will see Doueihi feature in Wests Tigers colours until the end of the 2023 NRL season.

Doueihi was a breakout star of the 2017 Rugby League World Cup with Lebanon — scoring two tries in four Tests at centre for the Cedars.

He would make his first-grade debut soon after in the following year, playing at halfback for South Sydney against Penrith.

The playmaker would go on to feature at fullback, centre, wing and halfback for the Rabbitohs across 2018 and 2019 — scoring two tries in his 30 appearances to date.

Wests Tigers Head Coach Michael Maguire said he was looking forward to working again with Doueihi and seeing his career further develop at the club.

“I’m very pleased we’ve been able to secure Adam on a long-term deal at Wests Tigers,” Maguire said. “He is a fine young man off the field and is an excellent addition to our squad with his talent and versatility across a number of positions.

“Adam is a tremendously hard worker who carries himself very well, and we’re all excited to see him take the next steps forward in his career at this club.”

Wests Tigers CEO Justin Pascoe welcomed Doueihi to the club.

“On behalf of all at Wests Tigers, I’d like to welcome Adam to the club and say how pleased we are to see him commit his long-term future to Wests Tigers,” Pascoe said.

“In addition to being an extremely talented young man, Adam is a proud local junior of Wests Tigers and it is great to see him come home. We look forward to watching him add plenty of value both on and off the field to this club in the years ahead.”

Personally don’t see the hype around Doueihi that everyone else seems to see, however I’m rooting for him and hopefully he changes my mind and plays some good footy in the number 1 jersey

I’m of the same opinion....
4 years is too long imo


The kid needs minimum a full season in the no.1. My guess is he will be the no.1 for 4 seasons.

Nah
No excuses with this signing ...
Needs to hit the ground running !


I’m just saying, anyway, he’s a lot fitter than the new bunnies full back.?
 
Title thread amended..

Welcome back to Wests Tigers Adam..

Wish you all the best..

Looks like he doesn’t wanna be here. Check Social Media to see if he’s written any messages that don’t have the proper amount of fawning over our club.

On another note if 4 years is the term it makes Doueihi and Brooks our only contracted players for 2023...lots of space to work with..

So ...Thompson to the wing and Jennings to Centrelink ?

Oh! how I wish!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Good signing and I'm pleased to see the club hold its nerve and sign players who want to be here. It would have been good to sign Latrell but in the end we've done well and I know Madge is happy with where the club is at.
