Bulldog moves back to Brookie
Daniel Harrison has come back to the Sea Eagles for the 2011 season.
PROMISING Bulldogs back-rower Daniel Harrison believes he can crack into the NRL next year after agreeing to join the Sea Eagles.
The 22-year-old Central Coast junior has agreed to terms to sign with Manly on a three-year deal.
Once seen as a future NRL player at Canterbury, after being named the club’s inaugural Toyota Cup player of the year in 2008, Harrison has struggled to progress at Belmore after missing virtually all of last season with a knee injury.
“It was pretty bad, I was pretty disappointed when I first did it,†he said of the injury that led to a knee reconstruction.
“It shook my confidence and it took me a bit of time to get over it. I think I’m pretty good now and I’m over the injuries, hopefully.â€Â
Having played under-16s and -18s at the Sea Eagles, a move back to Brookvale was the natural option for Harrison.
And now injury free, the Gosford-born youngster is ready to deliver for Manly in 2011.
“Opportunity wise, I don’t think I had a chance at the Bulldogs,†Harrison said.
“I just thought there were too many blokes in front of me so I thought I’d try somewhere else.
“I’d like to do that (play NRL). It is my goal and something to push for next year.â€Â
Harrison, currently playing second row with the Bulldogs’ NSW Cup team, said he will leave the club with no ill-feelings.
