Complications during the birth of Tim Lafai's first child kept the Bulldogs centre out of the Round 4 side.

The St George Illawarra Dragons have signed Tim Lafai on a two-year contract that will see him join the red V until at least the end of 2017, the club announced on Friday afternoon.

Lafai, 24, who can play in the centres, was recently granted a release by the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs after five seasons with the club.

The Toa Samoa international has represented his country on five occasions and has played 72 NRL games to date.

"Tim is an exciting player whose services became unexpectedly available in recent days and we are delighted that he has chosen to join the Dragons," said Dragons Executive Manager Football Ben Haran.

"He brings experience and strike to our backline and will fit well into our structures and Club".
