Penrith have bolstered their outside backs by re-signing Paul Alamoti to a new one-year contract.
Alamoti, who joined the three-time defending premiers from Canterbury this year, has impressed in recent weeks, having made his Panthers debut a fortnight ago.
He arrived at the foot of the mountains on a one-year contract and has emerged as the club’s newest reclamation project after scoring two tries in as many games and gaining 247 metres in Penrith’s win against North Queensland on Saturday night.
Alamoti’s emergence is well-timed given first-string winger Sunia Turuva will head to Wests Tigers next season, with the 20-year-old expected to compete alongside the likes of fellow youngster Jessie McLean for the vacant spot.
Alamoti has long been a player of considerable promise. He was first signed to Canterbury when he was just 12 years-old but was after a change following his rookie NRL campaign last season.
