Keenan Palasia will move from the Broncos to the Titans in 2024, inking a two-year deal with the rival QLD club.
The 25-year-old was off-contract at the end of next season and with interest from multiple clubs across the competition, Gold Coast were keen to lure him away from Brisbane.
St George Illawarra were also reportedly interested in Palasia's services, but the versatile forward opted to stay in the sunshine state and will remain at the Titans until the end of 2025.
Palasia was originally seeking an early release from the Broncos, but at this stage it is unlikely to be granted.

Titans coach Justin Holbrook believes that Palasia will further bolster the club's strong forward pack.
“We’re excited to have Keenan join us and we know, given the way he plays the game, that he will fit in with our forward pack,” he said.
“He’s a player that is able to play big minutes and has shown his versatility in the games he has played so far.
“Keenan has had a good taste of NRL football already, but we’re confident that he will continue to develop his game and we’re thrilled that he will be doing that with us at the Titans.
"He went to school at Palm Beach Currumbin State High School and is keen to come home to the Gold Coast and to represent the region which is something I like."
More power in the engine room 💪

Palasia has played 33 first grade games for Brisbane since making his debut in 2019, as well as playing one Test for Samoa earlier this year.
His signing adds to the likes of Kieran Foran, Aaron Schoupp and Sam Verrills, who have all joined the Titans for 2023 and beyond.
