Melbourne Storm is excited to announce the signing of Dolphins second-rower Oryn Keeley.
Keeley, one of the most impressive young forwards in the NRL, will join the Club on a two-year deal from the start of the 2027 season.
A Central Coast junior, Keeley developed through the Newcastle Knights pathway after playing his early rugby league with the Northern Lakes Warriors and The Entrance Tigers.
He progressed through Newcastle’s Harold Matthews, SG Ball and Jersey Flegg teams before making his NRL debut for the Knights in 2022.
Keeley joined the Dolphins in 2024, where he continued his development and enjoyed a strong 2025 season, playing 16 NRL games, scoring four tries, and making 1,182 metres, 347 tackles and eight offloads.
Storm Director of Football Frank Ponissi said the Club was thrilled to secure Keeley’s signature for 2027 and 2028.
“Oryn is a talented young player who has already made a strong impression at first-grade level, demonstrating both skill and hard work,” Ponissi said.
“We believe Oryn will thrive in our system and become an important member of our forward pack in the years ahead.
“We’re excited to welcome Oryn and his family to Melbourne for the 2027 season.”
