Penrith backrower Luke Lewis has reportedly signed a four-year NRL deal with Cronulla.
The highly sought after NSW Origin star turned down offers from Newcastle, the Wests Tigers and Parramatta to join the Sharks under coach Shane Flanagan, according to News Limited reports.
Lewis had been granted a release from the final two years of his contract with Penrith earlier this month after saying he needed a fresh start.
The request followed a decision by Panthers coach Ivan Cleary to dump Lewis as captain during the State of Origin period.

Great signing for Cronulla. But they still won't win a premiership.
They are putting together a good team. He will make a huge difference.PUT EM TO THE SWORD! SHOW SOME STEEL!

A massive dummy-spit. I think Gallen flagged Lewis' problem when he said "everybody knows he's a different sort of bloke." Penrith wouldn't have let him go without a very good reason.
Four reasons to escape to Queensland: Sun, Surf, Sand & the Titans.

Sharks are putting a really good team together and it seems they've still got the cash to get some quality outside backs so will be interesting to see how far they can go.
