Beau Scott sticks with Knights

Newcastle enforcer Beau Scott has re-signed with the Knights until the end of the 2017 NRL season.

The 30-year-old NSW Origin back-rower joined the Knights in 2013 after following coach Wayne Bennett from St George Illawarra.

“Newcastle is a great club with plenty of passion. I want to be part of that going forward,” Scott said on Wednesday.

“We have some very, very good youngsters coming through and I look forward to working with them in the years ahead.

“While this year has been disappointing from a results point of view, I am confident some good times are just around the corner.”

Newcastle chief executive Matt Gidley was pleased to secure Scott on a long-term deal.

“Beau has been an outstanding addition to our club and this extension caps off a highly successful season for him personally as well,” Gidley said.
