Experienced NRL forward Nathan Brown has been added to the Sea Eagles Top 30 squad for the 2024 season.
Following the release of winger Christian Tuipulotu last week, Brown officially signed his contract today to join the Top 30 squad after being on a train and trial deal over summer.
He is now available for selection for Manly's historic season opener in Las Vegas on March 2.
Brown turned in a solid performance in Manly's 68-6 trial win over South Sydney on Sunday at Gosford in his first appearance in the Sea Eagles jersey.
Manly Coach Anthony Seibold said it was a well deserved reward for Brown following a good pre-season.
“I’ve loved his attitude, he’s got a bit of a point to prove so there’s been an intensity about the way he’s gone after it,” Seibold said post-match.
“His own words, not mine, he’s had two disappointing seasons and he wants to prove a couple of points that he still belongs at this level.
“When you get a player who still has that ambition and that fire in the belly, they can be really powerful for you.
“I can only go on what I’ve seen over the last 12 weeks and he’s taken this opportunity, we wanted to reward him and upgrade him to our top 30 which we are able to do.”
