Josh Reynolds has won a contract with his beloved Bulldogs without having to even play a game. The 33-year-old club favourite was on a train-and-trial deal and was expected to have to battle it out for a spot in the top 30 with a host of up-and-comers in coming weeks. But head coach Cameron Ciraldo this week decided to reward the veteran for his enthusiasm and drive in the pre-season with a full-time contract for Reynolds' second stint at the club. "He's been great around the place with his energy and attitude and Cam decided he wants him here full-time," a Bulldogs source told. "The young guys in the squad really look up to him and it's been a popular decision." Reynolds was the face of the Bulldogs a decade ago, playing 138 games between 2011 and 2017 before less successful stints at the Tigers and Hull FC. The utility back was given his locker at Belmore on Tuesday and will now fight it out for a spot in the round one team to meet Manly. With his experience and ability to fill several roles, Reynolds could easily jag himself a spot on the bench as he begins life at the Bulldogs for a second time.
