Storm sign prop Josiah Pahulu

Melbourne Storm is pleased to announce the signing of young prop Josiah Pahulu from the Gold Coast Titans on a two-year contract.

The 21-year-old will join Storm with immediate effect and will commence training with the team this week.

Born in Auckland and raised in Queensland, Pahulu developed his game with the Springfield Panthers before making a strong impact for the Burleigh Bears in the Queensland Cup.

He made his NRL debut in Round 5 of the 2024 season and was named the Titans' Rookie of the Year. With 22 NRL appearances already to his name, Pahulu arrives in Melbourne as one of the game’s most promising young forwards.

Storm General Manager of Football, Frank Ponissi, welcomed the addition of Pahulu and shared his excitement for his signing.

“Josiah is a talented young footballer and an impressive individual,” Ponissi said.

"He’s a dynamic young forward who has already shown impressive potential early in his NRL career. We’re confident he’ll make a strong impact and be a valuable addition to the talented group of emerging middle forwards in our squad and coming through our pathways program.

“We’re excited to see what Josiah can achieve in Melbourne and delighted to welcome him to the Club."
