South Sydney has released injury-prone big man Daniel Suluka-Fifita and Canterbury has pounced.
The Bulldogs have signed the 112k 24-year-old on a two-year deal, starting immediately.
Bulldogs supremo Phil Gould was seen meeting with Suluka-Fifita last month.

"Daniel is a tremendous young talent who has shown great potential coming through the pathways at Roosters and playing NRL at Souths," Gould said on Monday.
"We are excited to have him at the club and he will add great depth to our forwards."
The Bulldogs recently released middle forward Raymond Faitala-Mariner, who went to the Dragons.
The Rabbitohs announced Suluka-Fifita's release a day after losing their season opener to Manly in Las Vegas.
Suluka-Fifita did not feature in that game and hasn't been seen on an NRL field since June last year.
"Daniel has been hampered by injury over the past two years," head of football Mark Ellison said.
"But he has always put his best foot forward with the opportunities he has been given to wear the Rabbitohs jersey.

"We wish Daniel and his family the best of luck for the future."
Suluka-Fifita made his NRL debut in 2020 for the Roosters and played 20 games for the club before jumping ship to Redfern.
He's struggled to get going properly at the Bunnies, playing only 15 NRL games in two seasons.
