The Queensland Reds have pulled off a coup by signing rising Melbourne Storm centre Will Chambers to a two-year Super 14 deal.
Chambers, 20, will switch codes at the end of the 2009 season and is viewed as a potential outside centre in a young Reds backline bristling with talent.
The 101kg Northern Territory-product played rugby as a schoolboy and represented Queensland alongside Reds playmaker Quade Cooper in 2006.
He has played three seasons with the Storm and also starred for the Queensland Under-19s league team but his 2008 season was marred by a knee injury.
"Will spoke to us some time ago about playing rugby again and in subsequent discussions convinced us that he had a genuine desire to play for the Reds after enjoying the game as a representative schoolboy at Nudgee College in Brisbane," said Reds high-performance manager Ben Whitaker.
