Former Fiji Bati international Marcelo Montoya will return to Belmore after signing a two-year deal with the Canterbury Bulldogs.

The 28-year-old rejoins his junior club following four seasons in New Zealand, where he scored 30 tries in 82 appearances for the Warriors.

Montoya played for Canterbury from Harold Matthews Cup through to the National Youth Competition, before making his NRL debut in 2017. “It’s always pleasing to bring a local junior back home.” Bulldogs GM of Football Phil Gould said.

“Marcelo is very passionate in the way he conducts himself both on and off the field. His versatility in the backline and his experience will certainly complement our squad as he enters this next chapter of his career at the Bulldogs.”

The 31-year-old comes to the Gold Coast with 221 NRL games under his belt at Penrith and Parramatta, alongside Origin and International representative experience with the Blues and Kangaroos.

“It’s great to have Reagan join us in 2025,” Titans coach Des Hasler said.

“He’s a no-nonsense front rower with a high work rate and has been a mainstay in the NRL for the past decade.”
