The 26-year-old is one of the sportβs most exciting full-backs with an array of skill and electric speed which helps to open up defences. He has clocked a top speed of 36.6km/h this season β faster than any Betfred Super League player this campaign.
The Australian boasts an impressive try-scoring record crossing on 45 occasions from his 96 NRL appearances to date. The speedster came through the ranks at St George Illawarra Dragons where he spent five seasons before switching to the Bulldogs.
Dufty will fly to the UK this weekend and will be eligible to make his Super League debut for the Wire away to Huddersfield Giants in Round 21 next Saturday.
Matt Dufty said: βThe opportunity to come over to Warrington and test myself in Super League is an exciting one.
βFrom my conversations with Daryl [Powell] the way he wants the game to be played is something that I feel can really suit my game.
βMy best footy is still in front of me and Iβm excited to showcase what I can do in England in front of the Warrington fans.
βItβs a challenge Iβm looking forward to and I canβt wait to rip in now for the Wolves.β
Warrington Wolves Head Coach Daryl Powell said: βMattβs a player who Iβve been trying to sign for a few years.
βHeβs a player who I feel will benefit massively from coming over to the UK. Heβs a perfect fit for Super League and the way the game is played over here.
βHeβs fast, strong, aggressive and competitive. Heβs an all-round great signing for us and Iβm excited for him to come over and to have an important impact for the remainder of this season and beyond.β
