WOLVES have confirmed the signing of half-back Tyrone Roberts from NRL side Gold Coast Titans.
The 26-year-old has signed a three-year deal with The Wire having turned down a new contract with the Titans.
While primarily a stand-off, Roberts has also been known to fill in at full-back, centre and hooker during his first-grade career and has a goal-kicking success rate of 82 per cent.

How Gold Coast Titans are reporting Roberts' departure
Roberts, who has also played for Newcastle Knights in the NRL as well as representative football for the Indigenous All Stars and NSW Country Origin, is confirmed to be one of Wolves’ marquee players for 2018.
Chief executive Karl Fitzpatrick believes Roberts’ arrival at The Halliwell Jones Stadium is huge news not just for Wolves, but for Super League as a whole.
“We’ve been in discussions with Tyrone and his representative for some time so to finally get this over the line is very pleasing,” he said.
“We had to beat off clubs from the NRL to get Tyrone’s signature, this shows where we are heading and that we are building something special.
“The signing of Tyrone is a massive coup for Warrington and Super League.
“He is a player that has genuine X-factor that will excite the Warrington supporters.”
