Bulldogs forward joins Perth Bears in huge recruitment win
Josh Curran signs a three-year contract with Perth Bears to provide leadership and versatility as the club prepares for its inaugural NRL season in 2027.
- Josh Curran has signed with the Perth Bears on a three-year deal, ending his time at the Canterbury Bulldogs to join the expansion NRL club's inaugural roster in 2027.
- Targeting leadership and experience, the club sought another proven first-grade starting forward after signing Toby Sexton and Harry Newman, Perth Bears coach Mal Meninga said.
- The 31-year-old has played more than 100 NRL games across stints with the Sydney Roosters, New Zealand Warriors and Canterbury Bulldogs, covering lock, edge and prop roles and playing prop and back row for the Bears.
- Curran will join Liam Henry, Penrith forward, to solidify the middle, following Perth's earlier pursuit of Keaon Koloamatangi, who signed with St George Illawarra.
- Perth sees Curran as a culture-builder who can mentor younger players and help the Bears withstand start-up challenges, while Curran said being a first signing motivates his community engagement efforts.
