Fullback Josh Hoffman has signed a three-year NRL deal with Gold Coast after being released by Brisbane.

The 26-year-old had been linked to a number of suitors including Canberra, Canterbury and Parramatta.

It’s understood Hoffman decided to make the move after Broncos coach Wayne Bennett insisted he play on the wing, and not fullback.

The Titans have reportedly told Hoffman they can see him taking the No.1 jersey but stopped short of promising him the position.

Hoffman is currently playing for New Zealand in the four-week Four Nations tournament, after Dallin Watene-Zelezniak hurt his foot.

The Titans are expected to reveal further details of the signing on Friday.
