Cronulla Sharks snap up Aiden Tolman

Cronulla Sharks have signed prop Aiden Tolman from Canterbury Bulldogs on a one-year deal.

The 32-year-old has made 275 NRL appearances to date for Melbourne Storm and Canterbury. He will link up with the Sharks for 2021.

Tolman said: “I’m looking forward to the opportunity. The Sharks have come along, offered a contract and I’m over the moon.

“To live local, come to a strong club that has played finals for a number of years, I’m really happy to be here and to be on board.

“Obviously, I want to be in the team, but I’ve got to earn my position. The club lost of lot of experience over the past few years and I’m looking forward to adding to that and I can’t wait for the pre-season.”

Cronulla coach John Morris said: “I’m excited to have him join us for next season.

“He’s a proven winner given his record at the Storm and Bulldogs, his experience will be invaluable, and his character is of the highest calibre.

“He’s durable and has the rare ability to play big minutes. Aiden definitely adds much needed depth to our forwards, especially considering some of the injuries we have and the players we will be missing early in the season.”
