The St George Illawarra Dragons<\/a> have bolstered their depth in the forwards with the signing of a back-rower from a rival club.<\/p>\n After spending the 2025 NRL<\/a> season on the development list at the Cronulla Sharks<\/a>, back-rower Dylan Coutts<\/a> has agreed to join the Dragons for the upcoming season.<\/p>\n However, it is currently unknown whether his contract is an NSWRL (NSW Cup<\/a>) deal or includes any NRL<\/a> components.<\/p>\n Following Daniel Atkinson<\/a>, David Fale<\/a>, Josh Kerr<\/a> and Setu Tu<\/a> to the club, he becomes the latest player to sign with the Dragons as they look to rebuild their squad under Shane Flanagan<\/a> and once again become a premiership threat in the coming years.<\/p>\n Still young, Coutts arrives at the Red V after a three-year stint with the Cronulla Sharks<\/a>, having previously been involved in the Manly Sea Eagles<\/a> system, for whom he played for two seasons.<\/p>\n Mainly playing in the Under-21s Jersey Flegg Cup<\/a> for the Sharks as of late, the back-rower is coming off a strong campaign which saw him make his NSW Cup<\/a> debut for the Newtown Jets and finish the season with two tries, 616 running meters and ten appearances under his belt.<\/p>\n
