Titans coach Justin Holbrook confirmed the acquisition, saying: “Jamayne is experienced at NRL level and has played on the international stage.”
“He adds great depth to our outside backs and provides us with coverage across both the fullback and wing positions.
“We’ve got strong competition across a number of positions and adding Jamayne gives us another exciting option to choose from in our backline.
“We had kept a spot on our roster open and we’re thrilled that we are now able to add Jamayne to our team.
