Local Sutherland Shire product Mitch Brown makes a welcome return to familiar territory in 2015 after signing a new two-year contract with the Sharks.

A Gymea Gorillas junior and a member of the Sharks NRL squad from 2006 until 2009, the acquisition of Brown adds experience and quality to the clubs backline depth for the next two seasons.

The new deal sees him join the Sharks for the 2015 and 2016 seasons.

Still only 26 years of age, Brown already has 121 NRL games to his name and is set to provide versatility and try-scoring ability. If needed he can play a number of roles, with Brown having been used primarily on the wing but also at fullback and centre for the Bulldogs over the past two years.

Brown played 24 of 25 games in the top grade for the Bulldogs in 2013 and despite a couple of niggling injuries has missed just four NRL games during the first 22 rounds of the 2014 season.

After debuting in the NRL for the Sharks as a 19-year-old back in 2006 Brown played 41 games for the Cronulla club over four years. He came through the Sharks junior system where he represented at Matthews Cup, SG Ball and Jersey Flegg level and while a student at Endeavour Sports High School also represented the Australian Schoolboys in 2005.

Brown left the Sharks for the Wests Tigers in 2010 before joining the Bulldogs in 2013.

He joins Bulldogs hooker Michael Ennis as a significant addition to the Sharks playing roster in 2015.

Good riddance!

I wish him luck with the Sharks.

I wonder what his contract is worth? All I have heard its $40k more than what we offered him.

All the best Brown. Good, solid player who was a scapegoat for a lot of our losses (especially this year).

A much better player than what people on this forum make him out to be.

Hallelujah

So that would be $40k more than he is worth?

No idea. If I was in his position, I would go for the $40k.

If anything he is tall, strong & rarely gets injured.

This, good luck next year mate.

Except when you play us.

I know that as a player giving a 100% effort might not be enough because of your lack of ability.
I also know that he has given more than some.
Cant knock him for having a go.
Good luck

Best of luck Browny, he tried his best and was a good person off the field.

 

[c-b-b]

I know that if Des wanted to keep him he would have stayed with us, we are not short on cap space.

He is far from my favourite player but I respect any player who pulls on the blue and white, best of luck to him.

 

[Scorpio]

Best of luck.
Watch him score a hatrick against us next year...

Oh no! Who will we direct insurmountable loads of undeserved hate towards now!

Solid winger, good finisher, good luck at the sharkies.

Don't worry, we'll find someone. Solid meaning two good games in two years?

 

[bmw_s2000]

Good luck to Brown. This is good news though. It does seem like we have either signed / or going to be signing a quality back line.

Inu and Brown now gone ?

This is leading to something big.
