Maloney signs on with the NRL outfit until the end of the 2020 season. 

The 31-year-old has amassed 203 NRL appearances for four different clubs. 

He is also a NSW regular in the State of Origin. 

“Panthers has the roster and the resources to achieve success over the coming years and I’m really excited to now be part of that,” Maloney said.

“The squad has a strong forward pack for me to play behind, plus some young and talented players coming through in the outside backs.”

“James Maloney is an exciting acquisition for Panthers,” Panthers Executive General Manager Phil Gould AM said.

“He has regularly succeeded at the highest levels of our game and brings a wealth of experience.

“It’s a real vote of confidence in the potential of our club that James has chosen to play with Panthers.

“We are truly delighted to welcome him to Penrith.”

Maloney will commence pre-season training with Panthers in January.
