Titans re-sign duo

Gold Coast have boosted their forward pack by re-signing forwards Matt White and Ben Ridge.

Prop White, 28, has signed a new three-year deal to remain at the Titans while second-rower Ridge, 22, will extend his current stay for a further two seasons until the end of 2015.

Titans coach John Cartwright was delighted with the double capture which will boost a forward pack that includes the likes of Greg Bird and Nate Myles.

“It’s great that we’ve been able to keep most of our existing squad together and these guys will be a big part of that over the next three years,’’ said Cartwright.

“Whitey has played his best football as a Titan over the last four years having averaged more than 20 games per season.

“Ridgey was one of our best players in the Under-20s in 2009 and after overcoming some serious injuries since making the step-up to NRL level, he’s starting to show everyone what he is capable of .’’
