Sami will be officially unveiled as a Dragons player during the week.<\/p>\n

The 28-year-old\u2019s future at the Titans was in limbo at the end of the 2025 season, having been given permission to depart the Gold Coast club.<\/p>\n

However, rookie coach Josh Hannay had a change of heart, but also stalled tabling an official extension due to the club\u2019s salary cap pressures.<\/p>\n

That allowed the Dragons to move in to secure an experienced figure, who made his debut in 2018 and has gone on to play 145 NRL games to date.<\/p>\n

He also sits second on the Gold Coast\u2019s all-time try scorers list with 71 four-pointers, sitting behind only Anthony Don who has 85.<\/p>\n
