Cowboys playmaker Jake Clifford will depart North Queensland at the end of the 2021 season to link up with the Newcastle Knights.
Clifford, 22, will join the Knights on a two-year deal commencing in 2022.
The young half has played 35 NRL games for the Cowboys since making his debut back in 2018. In 2017, Clifford was named the Holden Cup Player of the Year.
Knights Head of Recruitment Clint Zammit said he's confident Clifford with "grow" as a playmaker by lining up alongside halfback Mitchell Pearce.
"When the opportunity arose to sign Jake, I thought it was a perfect fit for both parties," Zammit said.
"We believe he will grow alongside the likes of Mitchell Pearce, both as a player and as a person.
"He's a good young talent from a good family and will be a great addition to both our playing group and the Knights for a long time."
