$500,000 winger set for mid-season switch to NRL rival image

Dominic Young will reportedly return to the Knights next month.

According to the Daily Telegraph, the winger will exit the Roosters before the June 30 trade window closes.

The English talent joined the Tricolours in 2024 but has dropped down the pecking order this season.

He is now set to reunite with his former club Newcastle ... but not before an awkward clash.

Young's move to the Hunter, funnily enough, will take place after the Roosters and Knights face off in Round 15.

The 23-year-old is on a reported contract worth $500,000 a season in Bondi.

He will ink a deal with Newcastle through to the end of 2027, per the Daily Telegraph.

Young made his NRL debut with the Knights in 2021, going on to score 43 tries in 51 games.

He has racked up 26 tries in 30 games to date with the Chooks.

There will be some competition when he returns to Newcastle, with Greg Marzhew and James Schiller currently occupying the wing spots.
