South Sydney have signed promising English star George Burgess, the brother of Sam, for two NRL seasons.
Burgess, a prop standing 194cm and weighing 120kg, is yet to taste first grade in the English Super League and will start his career in Australia with the Rabbitohs' Toyota Cup squad.
Rabbitohs chief executive Shane Richardson said: "The Burgess brothers are all talented footballers and we're delighted to have two of the boys playing for the Rabbitohs over the next two years.
"George is a great prospect and a real project for our Club. We'll work with him over the next two years and during that time we’re aiming to develop him into an NRL footballer in the red and green."
Burgess was excited about joining his older brother Sam at the club.
"I can't wait to make the move and get started at the Rabbitohs," Burgess said.
"Sam has been raving about the Rabbitohs and living in Sydney all year, so I'm looking forward to coming out and training and playing in Australia.
"I'm grateful to Bradford for the opportunities they've given me over the past few years, and also the release to come to Australia and play with the Rabbitohs.
"I'm very excited about pulling on the red and green jersey and getting started on my career at Souths."
The news comes less than a week after the Rabbitohs lured their big fish, Greg Inglis, to the club on a three year deal.
