\n <\/p>\n

The trend of Englishmen joining the Newcastle Knights<\/a> looks set to continue.<\/p>\n

The club is expected to welcome another English-trained talent, with Beau Morrison leaving Super League<\/a> side Huddersfield Giants<\/a> to pursue an opportunity in Australia<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Wide World of Sports reports that Morrison, the son of former NRL<\/a> forward Glenn Morrison, will link with Newcastle’s pathways system next season as he attempts to break into the NRL<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Glenn played more than 300 games across the NRL<\/a> and Super League<\/a>, including stints with the Wests Tigers<\/a>, North Sydney Bears, North Queensland Cowboys<\/a>, and Parramatta Eels<\/a> before transitioning into coaching.<\/p>\n

A powerful 20-year-old winger, Beau grew up in England<\/a> during his father’s time abroad and has been highly regarded within the Giants’ development system.<\/p>\n

He now arrives in Australia<\/a> with the goal of earning a Knights development contract over the next two seasons.<\/p>\n

Morrison will start his Australian chapter in Newcastle’s Jersey Flegg squad, where the club will monitor his progression closely.<\/p>\n

The Giants have quietly become a productive recruiting pathway for the Knights in recent years, producing NRL-ready talent such as Dom Young and Will Pryce<\/a>, both of whom developed overseas before being snapped up by the Knights.<\/p>\n

Morrison now hopes to follow that same trajectory as he begins his push toward a first-grade debut.<\/p>\n
