Brenden Santi returns to Wests Tigers

Former Under 20s player Brenden Santi has officially re-joined Wests Tigers following an immediate release from the Parramatta Eels.

Primarily a lock forward, Santi was an integral part of the Wests Tigers' Under 20s team during the 2012 and 2013 seasons before his departure to the Eels last year.

The 20-year-old is currently training with the Wests Tigers NSW Cup side and has signed a deal through until the end of the 2015 season.

Santi represented Italy in last year's Rugby League World Cup alongside NRL fullback James Tedesco and was part of the Wests Tigers' premiership-winning Under 20s side in 2012.
