The Perth Bears<\/a> continue their pursuit to shape their inaugural roster for next year, closing in on Mavrik Geyer<\/a>, as ESPN is reporting he has agreed to terms with the new franchise.<\/p>\n

The Wests Tigers<\/a> forward joined the joint venture club over the preseason; however, he is set to make a trip to the west for a new opportunity.<\/p>\n

Mavrik is the son of Western Reds and Panthers legend Mark Geyer, representing the Western Australian franchise on 32 occasions between 1995 and 1997.<\/p>\n

It will be a great nod to the Reds’ history, having a former legend’s son based in Western Australia<\/a> to build a connection to their past.<\/p>\n

Head coach Mal Meninga<\/a> is looking to build a strong future and culture for the Bears with the signing of Geyer, as he chips away at his starting side before the club commences pre-season training in November this year.<\/p>\n
