Roosters sign Waerea-Hargreaves
Saturday, June 06, 2009
The Sydney Roosters have signed Jarred Waerea-Hargreaves to a 3 year deal commencing 2010.
Waerea-Hargreaves, born in New Zealand, originally moved to Queensland on a golf scholarship before taking up Rugby Union.
In 2008 he played with the Waratahs before taking up Rugby League and signing with the Manly Sea Eagles for the 2009 season.
Jarred has predominantly played Toyota Cup this season, however he made his first grade debut in Round 9 this year.
After being persued by several NRL Clubs, the Roosters are excited to announce the deal and are looking forward to working with Jarred and developing him into a regular first grader.

MANLY is closing in on the signature of Matt Orford but his retention is likely to come at the cost of one of the NRL's most promising players, Jared Waerea-Hargreaves.
Orford appears certain to sign a two-year extension with the Sea Eagles next week, heading off overtures from English giants Wigan and Warrington.
However, the club's limited space under the salary cap means it is unlikely to match the dollars on offer from the Sydney Roosters for Waerea-Hargreaves.
Waerea-Hargreaves has been a star for Manly's Toyota Cup side this season and made his first-grade debut against Brisbane last month. However, his performances in the under-20s have alerted rival clubs and the Sydney Roosters have been circling the imposing forward -- a rugby union star -- for weeks.
