Peachey to follow teammates north
THE Titans have got their man, with Penrith utility Tyrone Peachey agreeing to a $1.5 million three-year deal.
New Gold Coast coach Garth Brennan has continued his plundering of Penrith’s ranks, with Peachey becoming the fourth Panther to seek a new chapter on the glitter strip.
The 26-year-old, one of the code’s most versatile players, will be at the Titans from 2019, joining former Panthers teammates Bryce Cartwright, Leilani Latu and Mitch Rein.
After months of innuendo surrounding a possible move, Penrith hierarchy have agreed to Peachey’s request to seek a more attractive deal under the NRL’s salary cap rules.
The Titans will formally announce Peachey’s signing within the week, with Penrith and the Gold Coast in the final stages of issuing paperwork to the NRL.
Penrith coach Anthony Griffin was keen to secure Peachey to an extended deal but he did not stand in the way of the NSW City Origin representative continuing his career at the Titans.
The signing is a handy one for the Titans. Brennan is keen to add depth to his roster and few players can match Peachey’s versatility.
