Kennar joins the Seagulls in a bid to earn a spot with the Brisbane Broncos after he was initially released by the Rabbitohs to serve a two-year Mormon mission.

The 24-year-old will no longer complete the mission and moved to Queensland to play for Anthony Seibold, his coach at South Sydney.

But the centre will have to work his way up from the Intrust Super Cup while Drew has arrived at Kougari Oval following almost two seasons with the Townsville Blackhawks.

The talented centre/wing played one NRL game for the Brisbane Broncos in 2013 before signing a two-year contract with the Cronulla Sharks in 2015.

Seagulls coach Adam Brideson said the pair were exciting additions for the club in 2019.

“They’re both really good athletes and great people as well,” he said.

“For us, having people with NRL experience is obviously very beneficial. They’ve played at the highest level and that will sit well with us when hopefully we are playing in big games with key moments as well.

“I think the Intrust Super Cup as a whole is a great place for players to work their way back into the NRL but we think our club and the environment we have here will help these guys get back to that level.”

Brideson also said he could not wait to see their backline in action this season.

“We have some genuine speed and some genuine try scorers, which we probably haven’t had in the past,” he said.

The Seagulls play Norths in their first trial match on Saturday at Kitchener Park from 7pm with Drew to take the field but Kennar is still training with the Broncos.

The Brisbane Broncos have confirmed they will play against the BMD Wynnum Manly Seagulls in an NRL trial match at BMD Kougari Oval on Saturday, February 23.

The Seagulls will take on their NRL affiliate to complete their preparation ahead of the 2019 season.

The match will present new coach Anthony Siebold with the first opportunity to coach the Broncos in Brisbane since making the move from South Sydney in December last year.

The Broncos are expected to roll out a strong outfit which will include many of its first grade stars as Siebold will look to use the trial to get crucial minutes on the park after a grueling off season.

Seagulls CEO Hanan Laban welcomes the opportunity to host some of rugby league’s brightest stars at Wynnum Manly.

“One of the benefits of our affiliation with the Broncos is their close involvement with our club and football program.

“This match is a great opportunity for our players, who aspire to play in the NRL, to test themselves against the best and also for our community to watch an NRL calibre side play at their local ground,” said Laban.

The Broncos are the third and final game in the Seagulls trial schedule which includes games against Norths on February 9 at the Wynnum Manly Juniors (Kitchener Park) and a road trip to Bundaberg to take on the CQ Capras on February 16.
