Wests Tigers are pleased to announce that Josh Reynolds will be joining the Club for the 2018 NRL season.

The new four-year agreement will see the talented five-eighth join Wests Tigers until at least the end of the 2021 NRL season.

Reynolds has played 129 first-grade games for the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs since his NRL debut in 2011, making his representative debut for New South Wales in Game II in the 2013 State of Origin series before going on to feature in all three games of the Blues' successful 2014 Origin series.

Wests Tigers Head Coach Ivan Cleary said that he looked forward to working with Reynolds over the coming seasons.

"Josh has proven himself time and time again to be an incredibly competitive and passionate player and we look forward to him bringing that attitude to the club," said Cleary. "He's going to bring to Wests Tigers a wealth of experience having being a part finals, Grand Finals and State of Origin series.

"We're confident that the best is yet to come for Josh and look forward to him taking his game to the next level here," he said. "I'm sure he's going to make a significant contribution to Wests Tigers reaching its potential."

Wests Tigers CEO Justin Pascoe said that he looked forward to welcoming Reynolds to the club at the end of the year.

"Josh is a ferocious competitor and I can't wait to see him pull on a Wests Tigers jersey next season," said Pascoe. "He comes to this club with a wealth of experience having being a part of a successful Bulldogs side and also a part of a winning New South Wales State of Origin campaign.

"I'm sure Wests Tigers Members and fans will find his enthusiasm and passion for the game infectious and he'll quickly become a fan favourite," he said.
