Canberra have signed former Wests Tigers utility Danny Galea for the 2010 NRL season.

The 26-year-old, who can play centre or backrow, will add some depth to the Raiders squad following the departure of Phil Graham, Adrian Purtell, Nigel Plum and retirement of Glen Turner.

"I'm going to be given a good opportunity to play some more NRL footy at the Raiders and I can't wait to get into it," Galea said.

"I just want to get on the field first and get myself a position, whether it is starting or on the bench and then hopefully help the team get down to winning some games which is the main thing."

The Raiders begin their pre-season training on Thursday.
