Cessnock's squad for next year's Newcastle Rugby League season has been bolstered with the return of Goannas junior Brayden Musgrove from the Knights.
Musgrove has signed with the Coalfields clubs for 2023 following a stint with the NRL squad, including seven NRL appearances last year.
The 24-year-old back was recruited by the Knights after helping Cessnock claim the Newcastle RL premiership during a COVID-impacted 2020.
Musgrove played on the wing for the Knights, debuting in a 26-22 win over Cronulla in 2021 and scoring his only try against the Roosters two rounds later on May 1.
He mainly lined up in NSW Cup during 2022.
Cessnock fell one game short of making this year's Newcastle RL grand final.
