Gold Coast Titans sign Jayden Campbell, son of club legend Preston Campbell
The son of former NRL cult hero Preston Campbell has rejected offers from several rival clubs to join the Titans.

A promising 19-year-old fullback, Jayden Campbell has been in hot demand in recent times but put pen to paper this week.

The move has delighted dad Preston, a former Dally M Medallist, who started and finished his glittering career on the Gold Coast, with stints at Cronulla and Penrith in-between.

Jayden had a standout season for the Burleigh Bears in the Queensland Cup this year, with league scouts from half a dozen clubs keen to sign him.

The youngster has earned a full-time NRL contract with the Titans but realistically, will probably have to wait until 2021 to make his top-grade debut.

Taller than his dad, he possesses all Preston's zip and pace off the mark.

Should play in the 2020 NRL trials before moving back to Burleigh. There is no rush with him as he is still U20 eligible in 2020. HE led the Hastings Deering's Colts competition in tries and total points and finished second in the Player of the Year voting.
