Penrith and Australia star Luke Lewis has chosen to join the Sharks next year, with the New South Wales rep to be unveiled alongside coach Shane Flanagan and skipper Paul Gallen on Friday afternoon.
The 28-year-old announced 11 days ago he would be leaving the Panthers at the end of the season, leading to several clubs beginning their chase of his signature.
But Lewis has opted to join the Sharks on what is believed to be a four-year deal worth $1.8 million, according to a report in the Daily Telegraph.
The Sharks announced on Friday afternoon that they will be making a major announcement at 2:45pm, with Lewis, Flanagan, Gallen and Wade Graham all attending.
Lewis' decision means rival clubs the Newcastle Knights, the Wests Tigers and Parramatta have missed out on his services.
Speculation surrounding Lewis' future started when he was stripped of the Penrith captaincy, with his departure from the Panthers confirmed on July 9.
