Melbourne Storm has signed promising Northern Pride playmaker Shaun Nona to its playing roster for 2015.
Nona, 23, is a Queensland Tully Tigers junior and made his debut with Northern Pride in the Intrust Super Club competition in 2012.
His impressive season with the Pride earned him selection at five-eighth in the Queensland Representative side that played as the curtain-raiser to the third State of Origin match.
