The Dolphins have made another addition to their roster for the inaugural 2023 NRL campaign after signing Edrick Lee to a two-year-contract.
Lee, who plays on the wing or at centre, is currently on the books of Newcastle and will see the season out with the Knights before making the switch to Redcliffe.
Injury issues
Lee missed the entire 2021 season through injury and was initially handed a train and trial deal for the 2022 season. That was eventually upgraded to a one-year deal.
After spending the first five weeks playing reserve grade, Lee made his step up to first-grade as injuries ripped into the Knights squad.
