Newcastle have turned to a familiar face in a bid to add some depth to their outside backs, signing former Knight Anthony Quinn for the 2013 NRL season.
Quinn, 29, who played 103 games with the Knights from 2002-2006 before linking with Melbourne, has agreed to a one-year deal with the club.
The former NSW Origin winger has endured a wretched run with injury in recent years, but will give Newcastle coach Wayne Bennett another experienced option out wide.
The Knights have already added ex-Sydney Roosters centre BJ Leilua to their squad, with Quinn set to back-up first-choice wingers Akuila Uate and James McManus.
'He can play on the wing, in the centres and even in the second row, so his versatility will be a great addition to the team,' Knights chief executive Matt Gidley said in a statement.
'He is very well liked, has a superb work ethic and he is just the type of player we want to have around the club.'
