Confirmed! Kurt Gidley pumped for Nines comeback
At 37 years old, Gidley will pull on the Mitch Revs-designed Knights jersey nearly 20 years since he made his debut in 2001.

He will be joined in 2020 by Corey Parker (Broncos), Jason Nightingale (Dragons), Andrew Ryan (Canterbury), Michael Gordon (Gold Coast) and former AFL player Nick Davis (Sydney Roosters).
