Meaney is a dynamic player, having experience at fullback, on the wing and in the centres.

"We see a lot of upside in Nick," Storm head of football Frank Ponissi, said.

"We believe that not only will Storm be good for his football, having him at AAMI Park will be good for us.

"We look forward to seeing Nick run out in the purple jersey next year."
