Wests Tigers sign powerful winger on two-year deal

Wests Tigers are delighted to announce the signing of powerful winger, Jeral Skelton on a two-year deal as the club continues to build for next season and beyond. 

The 25-year-old has scored three tries in his six NRL appearances for Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs, where he made his first-grade debut last season.

He has also scored 24 tries in 34 games for the Bulldogs in the NSW Cup, after arriving at Belmore in 2022.

The Queensland-born outside back will join Wests Tigers in the 2025 pre-season, and says he is excited about the next chapter in his football career.

“I think this is a great opportunity for me, and I’m really happy with this decision,” he said.

I think Wests Tigers are a club with a very bright future, and to be a part of that is so exciting.

“Obviously I want to finish this season strongly with my current teammates, but I look forward to meeting my new teammates in pre-season.”

Wests Tigers coach Benji Marshall says Jeral has much to offer the club.

“We are excited to welcome Jeral and his family to our club for the next two seasons,” said Marshall.

“We love what he brings on the field and the person he is off the field, and we look forward to having him with us in 2025.”

Further signings will be announced in the coming days as the club continues to strengthen its depth in key positions.
