Australian half-back Josh Drinkwater, who was London Broncos' leading scorer in their relegation season, has secured a return to the NRL with Wests Tigers.

The 22-year-old, who moved to the Broncos just under a year ago from St George Illawarra, has joined the Tigers on a two-year deal and began pre-season training on Wednesday.

Drinkwater impressed for the Broncos in 2014, scoring 136 points from five tries and 58 goals in Super League in 2014, even though it proved a season of struggle for the Londoners.

"I'm very excited to be back home," Drinkwater told the club’s official website. "Once this opportunity came up, I was over the moon."
