Last updated on .From the section Rugby League
Australian Anthony Watts has become the 12th new signing for Widnes ahead of their return to Super League in 2012.
Subject to receiving a visa, the 25-year-old half-back, who can also play hooker, has agreed a one-year contract.
Watts, whose NRL debut came at Cronulla in 2007, spent three seasons at North Queensland Cowboys before joining Sydney Roosters for the 2011 campaign.
"Anthony already has a proven track record in the NRL," said Widnes coach Denis Betts.
"And now he is backing himself to achieve the same heights in Super League.
"At 25, he's still got a lot of unfulfilled goals and plenty to prove in the game which makes his signing all the more pleasing."
