Josh Reynolds set to depart Wests Tigers

The Wests Tigers and Josh Reynolds are set to part ways with the veteran five-eighth on the verge of signing a deal in England.

Reynolds, 31, is expected to ink a three-year contract to move to the northern hemisphere in the coming days, Fox Sports reports.

The news comes as a major win for the club with Reynolds'contract at Concord coming under heavy scrutiny for not providing value for money.

The former Bulldog had one year to go on his $3 million four-year deal with the Tigers – and only played 22 NRL games for the joint venture during that time.

Reynolds will link up with newly signed Hull coach and Tigers legend Brett Hodgson, who had earlier put in an offer to lure Benji Marshall to the Super League.

The move will give the Tigers around $500,000 in salary cap space and will build confidence in trying to recruit more talent to their roster.

Tigers coach Michael Maguire is expected to shift Adam Doueihi from fullback to five-eighth for 2021 in place of Reynolds.
