WARRINGTON WOLVES have confirmed the signings of overseas props Toby Crosby and Mitchell Prest for the next two seasons.
The two forwards, neither of whom have played in the NRL, become Warrington’s second and third additions for next season, following the capture of Leeds Rhinos halfback Brodie Croft.
New Zealander Crosby (above), 23, made his New South Wales Cup debut in 2024 before playing a key role in the Warriors’ 2025 reserve-grade campaign, winning the Grand Final and NRL State Championship.
He then joined the Penrith Panthers and has made 17 appearances for their reserve side this season, scoring four tries.
Crosby said: “I’m incredibly excited to be joining the Warrington Wolves.
“Ever since I was young, I’ve had the ambition to play professional footy in England and the approach from Warrington made me consider it as the next step of my career.
“The chance to work under (Wire coach) Sam Burgess was a huge attraction. He’s someone I’ve looked up to for a long time, and I think he’ll really help me develop.
“I’m very blessed to go from an open trial, to spending time in both the Warriors and Panthers systems. Now I’m looking forward to making an impact for Warrington.”
Australian Prest, also 23, represented the NSW Country Under-19s while with Canberra Raiders.
After a short stint with North Queensland Cowboys, he signed for current club Mackay Cutters, where he has made 15 appearances this season, scoring two tries.
Prest said: “I’m really excited to join Warrington. It’s a great opportunity for me and I can’t wait to get over there and continue my development as a young, hungry forward.”
Warrington boss Burgess said: “Toby is a young forward with a lot of potential, and we’re excited about bringing him into our environment.
“He’s got the physical attributes you look for in a front-rower, and he has a strong desire to improve.
“Mitchell is another young player who we feel has plenty of upsides. There’s still lots of development ahead of him, but we’re confident he can continue to improve and make a real contribution to this club in the future.
“We’re really looking forward to bringing them over to Warrington and nurturing them both into first-grade players.”
