In a surprising turn of events, the Penrith Panthers have officially announced the return of one of their former star players, *James Fisher-Harris*, who has rejoined the club after a brief stint overseas. The 28-year-old, a key member of the Panthers’ dominant forward pack in recent seasons, had been playing for *Catalans Dragons* in the Super League but has now signed a two-year deal with the NRL club, much to the excitement of the Panthers’ loyal fanbase.
Fisher-Harris, who made a name for himself during Penrith’s premiership-winning campaigns in 2021 and 2022, left the Panthers at the end of the 2023 season to pursue opportunities abroad. However, after just one season with the Catalans Dragons, the powerful prop forward has decided to return to the NRL, citing a desire to reunite with his former teammates and contribute to Penrith’s continued dominance in Australian rugby league.
The announcement comes as a surprise to many, as Fisher-Harris had been a fan favorite and one of the club’s most consistent players, known for his hard-hitting style and relentless work ethic. His return bolsters Penrith’s already formidable forward pack, which has helped them maintain their position as one of the league’s top teams over the past few seasons.
Penrith head coach *Ivan Cleary* expressed his excitement at the news, praising Fisher-Harris’ toughness and leadership qualities. “James is a player with a lot of experience and a winning mentality. Having him back in the squad will provide us with added depth and strength up front,” Cleary said.
Fans are eagerly anticipating Fisher-Harris’ return, which is expected to inject further energy into the Panthers’ 2024 campaign as they aim for yet another NRL title.
