St George Illawarra have announced that journeyman prop George Rose has agreed to a one-year contract for the 2015 NRL season.

Rose will join the Dragons after playing just nine matches for Melbourne during his one and only season with the Storm this year.

It will be 31-year-old's fourth NRL club after debuting with the Sydney Roosters in 2004 and winning the 2011 premiership and World Club Challenge during an eight-season stint at Manly.

Rose was the Sea Eagles' player of the year in 2009 and has also made four appearances for the Indigenous All-Stars during his 142-game NRL career.

The Dragons on Tuesday also announced the signing of NSW Country star Rulon Nutira from the Gundagai Tigers in Group 9.

The 24-year-old prop formerly played for Parramatta in 2008-09 and Melbourne in 2010.
