JOSH McGuire’s move to Warrington Wolves has been confirmed.
The experienced forward – currently with St George Illawarra Dragons – will join The Wire on a two-year deal for the 2023 and 2024 campaigns.
McGuire, who has played at prop, second row and loose forward during a near 300-game NRL and representative career, joins the likes of Paul Vaughan, Sam Kasiano and Gil Dudson as new additions to the pack for next year.

The 32-year-old’s long career has seen him picked 14 times by Queensland in the State of Origin arena while internationally, he has been capped by both Australia and Samoa.
Now, he is preparing for life on the other side of the world and head coach Daryl Powell is looking forward to having McGuire as part of his squad.
“Josh is a tough, aggressive forward and I see a lot of strong leadership in his game,” he said.
“From my conversations with him, he’s very passionate about coming over here for the right reasons.
“He’s had a fantastic career. He’s an Australian international who has played at the highest level.
“We want a big, tough pack that can go out there and dominate every other pack in the competition, which is what I believe we’ve put in place for next season with our recruitment.”
