Sandon Smith, sought by NRL clubs, set to sign four-year deal as Newcastle's main hooker.
Sydney Roosters playmaker Sandon Smith has been in hot demand in recent months, with the star half on the hunt for a new club after falling behind in the pecking order in Bondi.
The 22-year-old has been identified by multiple NRL clubs, with the Newcastle Knights, North Queensland Cowboys, and Canberra Raiders all vying for his signature.
It has been reported that he will travel to the Hunter Valley to sign the deal and will stay there for the next four seasons.
Despite predominantly playing as a five-eighth, Smith is expected to don the No. 9 jumper, signing on as the club's main hooker.
