Wests Tigers<\/a> and the North Queensland Cowboys<\/a> have completed a swap of two young guns, with giant forward Tukimihia Simpkins signing with the Tigers and winger Kane Bradley landing at the Cowboys.<\/p>\n

Simpkins, a 19-year-old Kiwi standing at 192 centimetres and weighing in at 105 kilograms, has penned a three-year deal, effectively immediately.<\/p>\n

And Bradley, a 20-year-old winger standing at 196 centimetres and tipping the scales at 101 kilograms, has inked a two-year contract, also effective immediately.<\/p>\n

Tigers general manager of football Adam Hartigan said the club was thrilled to secure Simpkins.<\/p>\n

"Tuki is clearly an exceptional talent and we're very excited to see him play his football in a Wests Tigers jersey moving forward," Hartigan said.<\/p>\n

"Tuki will add a lot to our forward pack over the coming years, and adds to the already talented young squad we're building for the future of Wests Tigers."<\/p>\n

Cowboys head of football Michael Luck said North Queensland were rapt to sign Bradley.<\/p>\n

"We're really excited to secure a player of Kane's potential," Luck said.<\/p>\n

"Kane is a big body with speed and has been a noted try-scorer in the lower grades.<\/p>\n

"He adds significant depth to a position we believed we were a little undermanned, and all reports we received about his work ethic, attitude and character were glowing."<\/p>\n
