Souths have signed one of the brightest young centres in rugby league - and he just happens to be a cousin of Rabbitohs superstar Latrell Mitchell.Ethan Ferguson, aged 19, hails from Taree and represented the Australian Schoolboys last year.The youngster is a Newcastle junior and played in the club's SG Ball team last year.Newcastle were keen to keep the strongly-built centre but the lure of playing with his illustrious cousin proved too appealing.He has signed a two- year deal with the Rabbitohs for 2024-25.The similarities between Ferguson and Latrell are uncanny."They are both outside backs, carry the ball strongly and kick goals," a source close to Ferguson said."It was a tough decision for him because he was happy at the Knights and they treated him well."But the thought of a new challenge and being closer to Latrell and his brother Shaq swayed him to make the move."
