Proud to announce that I’ll be joining the Newcastle Knights next year for the next 3 seasons! It’s been a tough year personally sorting out my future, and although I’m disappointed to be leaving my junior club, I’m excited by the next challenge and chapter that’s ahead. I’m incredibly grateful to @cronullasharks for the opportunity to do what I’ve always dreamt of, and getting me where I am today. I’ve got mates here that will last forever, and memories I’ll always cherish. I’ll never forget my debut for the club and the World Club Challenge I was lucky enough to be apart of back in 2017. Finally, Thankyou to my friends and family for always having my back, and also to the fans for all the kind messages. Once again, I’m really excited about the next opportunity to come in joining a strong club in the @nrlknights, but ready to rip in for the rest of the year with Cronulla and get back in the Finals! . Thanks guys 🤙🏼

Sharks teammate Chad Townsend was quick to congratulate Brailey on his move.

I to wish my good mate @JaydenBrailey all the best with his next chapter at the Knights.
Unfortunately this is the reality of professional sport and it’s never easy when you lose good people from your organisation. Looking forward to finishing the year off strong before you go. pic.twitter.com/2HfwS0fU9E
