Cronulla Sharks sign junior rugby star Jangala Bennet image

Cronulla have pulled off a coup by securing the signature of young rugby star Jangala Bennet.

Bennet, 18, has been turning it on for Nudgee College in Brisbane and had reportedly been in touch with North Queensland Cowboys as well as the ARU.

According to The Daily Telegraph, The Sharks have signed the exciting back to a two-year contract

Bennet helped Nudgee to their second straight GPS First XV title in 2018, the same competition that kickstarted Knights superstar Kalyn Ponga's career.

Bennet will link up with an exciting crop of youngsters at the Sharks.

Kyle Flanagan, Blayke Brailey and Bronson Xerri are among those players who will be pushing for higher honours in 2019.
