“I’ve heard a lot about the club and their vision which is exciting and I’d love to get over to the UK and try and win a trophy with them.”
From the stadium, the facilities, and the club history, Reynolds had nothing but praise for his new club.
“They’ve won the cup a couple of times recently which looked like great occasions to be part of and so do the Derby games.
“The stadium looks class.
“I can’t wait to run out there for the club and start the next chapter in my career, I’m really ready to rip in and get started. I’m excited about what the next few years have in store.”

“Josh is an elite player,” said Hodgson.
“He builds his game around work-ethic and effort, and that’s what we are after here at the club – he’ll be a real leader for us.
“He’s played Origin, Grand Finals, and Prime Ministers XIII matches – he’s been involved in the game for a long time – he has played at the highest level and he will bring that experience with him.”

“Josh is a passionate guy, and when he sets his sights on what he wants to achieve, he will excel,” continued Hodgson.
