Paul Vaughan has been in good form for Canterbury Bulldogs this year
“I’m delighted we’ve been able to recruit Paul for next season,” he said.
“His stats this year have been outstanding – he hasn’t missed a tackle in his last two games for example and made 177 metres last week.
“He’s a big ball carrier, defends and moves well and works hard. I’ve had a couple of Zoom chats with him and I really like how he comes across as a bloke as well.
“We’ve talked a lot about size and being a fearsome pack and we’ve worked hard to get that in place for next season.”
