Young gun playmaker Lachlan Galvin has told people close to him he’ll be joining the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs.
In a huge coup for Cameron Ciraldo’s table-topping side, Galvin is tipped to make the move to Belmore effective immediately this week.
The news is a blow for Galvin’s current club Wests Tigers and also the Parramatta Eels who were the other club in the hunt for Galvin’s signature.
It is understood Galvin will join the club on a three-and-a-half year deal with the Bulldogs to pay the Tigers a transfer fee of $165,000 to secure an immediate switch. The lure of playing under Cameron Ciraldo proved a more decisive selling point than the higher salary offer tabled by Jason Ryles and the Eels.

It’s a stunning decision from Galvin who turned down a $6 million offer from the Tigers. It sparked a fierce backlash from teammates resulting in Galvin iniatiating legal action against his club.
The Bulldogs have a bye next round meaning Galvin could suit up against the Eels on June 9.
