Gold Coast junior Klese Haas is set to join the Titans for the next two years after getting a taste of first grade rugby league with the club this season.
Experiencing NRL with a train-and-trial contract in 2022 and having an exciting stint in a trial against the Broncos in the pre-season, the 19-year-old will join the club on a full-time basis until the end of 2024 after continuing to impress Titans coaching staff, in action for Tweed in the QRL’s Hastings Deering Colts competition.
The younger brother of Broncos and Origin front row enforcer Payne, Haas is a versatile edge forward who also has the ability to play in the centres and has been among the points-scorers in the Under 21 competition, which has included an extraordinary hat-trick against Burleigh earlier in the year.

Titans coach Justin Holbrook is looking forward to the Keebra Park alumni joining the club in a full-time capacity next season.
“Klese is an exciting Gold Coast junior who has been impressive during his recent train-and-trial stint here at the Titans. He ha has a great worth ethic and continually works really hard to improve his game,” Holbrook said.
“He’s got some classy footwork and skill, and we’re really excited to have him join the club from next season, especially as a local Gold Coast kid who has progressed through our Future Titans pathways program.”
Haas will officially begin his full-time contract at the Titans from November 1.
