The 28-year-old is viewed as a replacement for the departing Mitchell Moses, but the No.6 has eclipsed the form of the Tigers young half in recent weeks.

"Josh Reynolds has told his team mates he is leaving the club and joining the Wests Tigers,” tweeted Channel Nine rugby league reporter Danny Weidler. 

An official announcement is expected today. 

Reynolds, a Bulldogs junior, had made clear his desire to remain at Canterbury, however, the club want to head in another direction.

The club has been heavily linked to Kieran Foran.

More to come.
