The Newcastle Knights will today announce the signing of English International and two-time premiership winner, Chris Heighington, to a one-year deal.
It is believed the 35 year-old considered retirement before agreeing to link up with the club.
The 318-game veteran brings a vast array of experience to the young Knights forward pack and will join fellow recruit Jacob Lillyman in a mentoring role.
Heighington joins a long list of new faces to join the club in 2018, with coach Nathan Brown firmly putting his stamp on the side.
