St George Illawarra have announced that front-rower Jeremy Latimore will return to the Dragons on a one-year deal.

Latimore spent the 2012 Telstra Premiership season at the club, and will return to the Dragons until at least the end of 2018.

The 30-year-old has played 139 NRL games to date – having spent time at the Parramatta Eels (2009), New Zealand Warriors (2010-11), Penrith Panthers (2013-16) and the Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks (2017) previously.

Latimore also featured for the Prime Minister's XIII side back in 2015 against Papua New Guinea.

Director of Rugby League Pathways Ian Millward was pleased to add a further element of experience to the Dragons' 2018 squad.

"When we came to the decision with Jeremy, it was more so to see what he could bring to the club off the field just as much as what he could bring on it. Jeremy is very keen to be involved in that process," Millward said.
