The Dolphins have added Penrith winger Robert Jennings to their squad for their entry in the NRL in 2023, signing the 26-year-old on a three-year deal.
NRL expansion outfit the Dolphins have added another player to their inaugural squad with winger Robert Jennings signing a three-year deal.
The Penrith Panthers' back, who has represented Tonga at international level, is the latest recruit for Wayne Bennett's squad ahead of the Dolphins' entry into the competition in 2023.
An Australian schoolboy representative, Jennings is the younger brother of former NSW State of Origin player Michael Jennings and Melbourne Storm's George Jennings.
The 26-year-old, who has also played for South Sydney and Wests Tigers, has scored 33 tries in 65 NRL appearances.
He also made one appearance for Tonga in a Test against Samoa in 2018.
Jennings joins a list of already confirmed players for the Redcliffe-based franchise that includes Storm veterans Felise Kaufusi, Jesse Bromwich and Kenny Bromwich as well as 21-year-old North Queensland forward Tom Gilbert.
The club has yet to land a genuine superstar signature however with Reed Mahoney, Brandon Smith, Harry Grant and Jahrome Hughes all signing elsewhere.
Melbourne star Cameron Munster remains a priority target for Bennett while newspaper reports over the weekend also linked the veteran coach with Brisbane's English centre Herbie Farnworth.
