Souths sign PNG international Edene Gebbie

South Sydney have signed Papua New Guinea international Edene Gebbie for the 2020 and 2021 NRL seasons

Gebbie, a fullback or winger, made his international Test debut for Papua New Guinea against Samoa in the Oceania Test series this year, having already represented Papua New Guinea in a number of Prime Minister's XIII and non-Test fixtures.

The 24 year-old has spent the past two seasons plying his trade in the Queensland Cup, playing with the PNG Hunters in 2018 where he was named the rookie of the year.

This season with Wynnum-Manly he leads almost all of the attacking statistics in the competition.

"Edene is an exciting prospect and we're looking forward to seeing him develop his skills over the next two years under the guidance of our coaching staff," Rabbitohs general manager of football, Shane Richardson, said.

"He has scored 19 tries in 29 games over the past two seasons with his sides winning 22 of those 29 games in which he has played. His speed and hard running are his major assets and we're sure that he can add more strings to his bow in our system."
