Newcastle half Linnane signed on three-year deal - warriors.kiwi
<div>
<p>Highly-rated young Newcastle five-eighth Jye Linnane will join the One New Zealand Warriors on a three-year NRL contract from next season.</p>
<p>The 19-year-old has come through the Knights’ pathways playing for their Jersey Flegg Cup, SG Ball Cup and Harold Matthews Cup sides since 2022.</p>
<p>“We’re excited to bring Jye to our club. He’s an exceptional talent and a terrific young man,” said One New Zealand Warriors general manager recruitment, pathways and development Andrew McFadden.</p>
<p>“His outstanding qualities as a player are his running game and his speed. We look forward to developing him in our system and giving him every opportunity.”</p>
<p>On a NRL development contract with the Knights this season, Linnane was impressive in preseason training with the first-grade squad until his plans were ended by an ACL knee injury in January after coming back from the same injury in his other knee last year.</p>
<p>He was only 17 when he was brought into Newcastle’s Jersey Flegg Cup (under-21) side in 2023 where he played alongside current Knights NRL star Fletcher Sharpe.</p>
<p>Linnane represented New South Wales Country Under-18 in 2023 facing a star-studded City side which included current NRL players Casey McLean – who has played Test football for the Kiwis – Tallyn De Silva, Lachlan Galvin and Blaize Talagi.</p>
