St George Illawarra<\/a> has signed Parramatta<\/a> front-rower Daniel Alvaro on a two-year deal.<\/p>\n

The 27-year-old will join the Dragons for the 2021<\/a> and 2022 seasons.<\/p>\n

Alvaro has played 95 NRL matches since making his NRL debut for the Eels in 2015, including six matches on loan to the Warriors this season.<\/p>\n

"Daniel has shown his competitiveness and capabilities as a first grade player over the past six years and we're excited to see how he complements our squad," Dragons general manager of football Ben Haran said.<\/p>\n

"Head coach Anthony Griffin oversaw Daniel's development in the Under-20s during their time at the Brisbane Broncos together.<\/p>\n

"Their long-standing relationship can only be a positive and will certainly help Daniel settle into his new surroundings over the remainder of our pre-season."<\/p>\n

Parramatta confirmed they had granted Alvaro a release from the remainder of his contract.<\/p>\n

\"Daniel<\/p>\n

The front-rower won the Ken Thornett Medal as Parramatta's player of the year in 2018, but in recent times had struggled to earn a spot in the the Eels first-grade side. He played just eight games in 2020, six of those for the Warriors.<\/p>\n

Under new coach Griffin, the Dragons have signed Jack Bird from Brisbane for 2021, along with front-rower Poasa Faamausili from the Roosters.<\/p>\n

There's still a number of spots to fill on the club's roster, following the depatures of Tyson Frizell, Euan Aitken, James Graham, Jacob Host, Korbin Sims and Jason Saab.<\/p>\n

The Dragons open their 2021 campaign against arch-rivals Cronulla in round one.<\/p>\n
