Westerman told the Wolfpack’s official website: “I was attracted to the club because of what I’m seeing and hearing off players who are already there.

“It’s a massive club with great support and I think it’s only going to get better and bigger. I want to be part of a side that gets the club into Super League where I think it belongs.

“I’m looking forward to getting started and playing in front of the Wolfpack crowd.”

Toronto director of rugby Brian Noble added: “With almost 300 games under Joe’s belt already at the highest levels of the game, this is a real coup for the Wolfpack with Joe’s best years still in front of him.”

Toronto have also signed London Broncos hooker Andy Ackers on a two-year deal.
