He had been on loan to Leigh from Hull FC.
The 22-year-old, who can play fullback, wing or centre, had a previous stint in Aussie football - with the Roosters in 2014.
He played the season in the Roosters’ NYC team, gaining valuable experience before returning to Britain the following year.
A speedster with a knack for scoring tries, Naughton has been in talks with several Aussie clubs but the Knights look favoured to gain his services.
