Gordon reports to Gold Coast

TITANS coach Garth Brennan says his signing spree is not over yet after Jarryd Hayne’s replacement officially arrived on the Gold Coast.

The Titans will become journeyman Michael Gordon’s fifth NRL club when he pulls on the Gold Coast’s No. 1 jersey next season.

Gordon, 34, secured a release from the Roosters to return to his home town and sign a generous two- year deal with the Titans.

The Tweed product contacted Brennan when speculation of Hayne’s desire to return to Parramatta surfaced last month.

Gordon had previously tried numerous times to sign with the Titans but it took Hayne’s departure for the move to finally transpire.

“I’d spoken to Garth before that all happened and he said that even if ( Hayne) stayed he was still keen for me to come home,” Gordon said.

“We were quite happy where we were. The Roosters are a great club and obviously have a pretty strong side for next year so I was more than happy to stay there.

“But the more I thought about it and the more I talked with my family, it was an option I at least had to explore.

“I’ve been trying to come back here for a long time now and one way or another it’s always fallen through from either my end or up here.”

The Titans have added Gordon, Leilani Latu, Mitch Rein and Will Matthews to their squad in recent weeks.

Hayne’s departure gave the Titans another $ 1.2 million to spend in next year’s salary cap and the return of Dan Sarginson to England has freed up another spot in their roster.
