Struggling Wests Tigers centre Oliver Gildart is set to become the latest signing for Wayne Bennett's Dolphins.But before the 25-year-old joins the NRL's new franchise, he will have a brief spell with Super League club Leeds for the remainder of the season.A Great Britain and England Test centre, Gildart came to the Tigers this season from Wigan with high hopes of making it in the NRL. But he has found life Down Under to be difficult and has not been able to hold his place in the battling Tigers side.He is currently languishing in the NSW Cup and the Dolphins' decision to sign him comes as something of a surprise.Gildart has a year to run on his contract at Concord but the Tigers will be more than happy to grant him a release.He started the year in the top grade but after failing to make an impression, was dropped to NSW Cup.
