Graham makes Titans move

Correspondent

Gold Coast have boosted their squad ahead of next season’s NRL campaign by signing Sydney Roosters utility Phil Graham.

Former Canberra player Graham, 30, has signed for the Titans on a one-year deal and will team up with fellow new recruits Jamal Idris and Beau Champion.

Graham enjoyed a stellar year in 2010, helping the Roosters to the preliminary final before succumbing to a torn pectoral injury.

“It seems like a really good club from the success the Titans had last year,’’ said Graham.

“With the new players that are coming in next season and the people that are already there, it seems like a really talented bunch. I’m just looking forward to getting up there.’’

Jetstar Titans Head Coach John Cartwright said Graham’s experience, height and speed would make him a welcomed addition to the playing squad for next season.

“He’s got plenty of experience and height about him which is something that we’ve lacked,’’ said Cartwright.

“He plays centre, wing and fullback so he’s going to help out our young blokes and put pressure on for spots.’’
