Warrington Wolves have agreed a deal to sign former Australia international Kurt Gidley.

The 32-year-old will leave NRL outfit Newcastle Knights at the end of the year to join the Super League side on a 12-month deal with the option of a second season.

"I have felt sad about leaving, I have felt excited about a new challenge, but I am mostly relieved that I have reached the stage of making this decision," Gidley told Newcastle Knights' official website.

"I am still fit and healthy, I love everything about rugby league and team sport and playing overseas is going to be to a new challenge."

Gidley has played in 236 NRL games in his career and sealed 12 international caps.
