The nib Newcastle Knights have re-signed five-eighth Jack Johns and welcome centre Brent Naden to the Club on one-year contracts.
Johns played with the Club’s Under 20s in 2017 and shifted between playing in the halves and back row throughout the campaign.
He was rewarded with selection in Italy’s Rugby League World Cup squad, but his tournament was unfortunately cut short after he fractured his forearm in their opening match.
“Following on from an excellent season, Jack gets the chance to train full time and continue his development at the Club,” General Manager of Football Darren Mooney said.
“For Brent, he joins the Club for an opportunity and provides depth to our outside backs.”
