While many stars have been linked with a move from their current club this offseason, one surprising name that has been mentioned in transfer whispers is Dolphins<\/a> gun Jake Averillo<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Off contract at the end of 2026, the Dolphins<\/a> seem to be in no rush to re-sign the 25-year-old and could let him walk at the conclusion of his current deal.<\/p>\n

A versatile player that can excel in any backline position, as well as in the halves, Averillo’s services will be in high demand should he depart from Redcliffe, with a few clubs in particular emerging as the most likely destinations.<\/p>\n

1. St George Illawarra Dragons<\/p>\n

It was revealed earlier this month<\/a> by Zero Tackle that the St George Illawarra Dragons<\/a> were interested in acquiring Averillo\u00a0due to his versatility and speed.<\/p>\n

While the Dragons are in desperate need of middles more than anything else, they’re yet to settle on a long-term fullback or five-eighth, two roles that Averillo could slot into seamlessly.<\/p>\n

The No. 1 jumper, in particular, is an exciting prospect, as Averillo played some of his best football in the fullback position for the Canterbury Bulldogs<\/a> earlier in his career.<\/p>\n
