The worst kept secret in football was confirmed on Saturday morning with the Blues announcing they have signed Wests Tigers superstar Benji Marshall.

Marshall officially announced the deal in a YouTube video released by the Blues this morning. The 28-year old admitted to a certain amount of sadness at leaving the Tigers, but a great hope in what the future holds.
