English captain James Graham has reportedly signed with the Canterbury Bulldogs on a three year deal starting in the 2012 season. The St. Helens forward has played Super League for over nine years, and joins the club to test himself in the NRL.
The 25-year-old was in talks with clubs including the Roosters, Penrith and Parramatta, but signed with the Bulldogs who have some breathing space in their salary cap with the loss of Jamal Idris.
Graham commented on his desire to test himself in the NRL.
“The decision to leave St Helens has been by far the biggest decision of my rugby league career,” said Graham.
“Testing myself in the NRL is something I’ve always wanted to do, and the Bulldogs just seemed right from day one.
“[Bulldogs] made it clear to me that they saw me as a big part of the future of the club and I’m looking forward, after a successful finish to my time at Saints, to linking with the club at the end of the year.”
Graham will join countrymen Sam Burgess (South Sydney), Gareth Ellis (Wests Tigers) and Gareth Widdop (Melbourne Storm) in the NRL, with more signings a possibility if English players see growth in their games.
