Canterbury have signed young Parramatta playmaker Kris Keating on a two-year deal starting from the 2011 NRL season.

The 21-year-old, who made his City Origin debut this year, will link up with close friend and fellow former Parramatta junior Trent Hodkinson, who has also agreed to join the Bulldogs from Manly next year.

"Kris is a player of true quality," Bulldogs coach Kevin Moore said.

"He's shown his potential at first grade and now representative level and were delighted that he's committed to the Bulldogs for the next two seasons.

"He has a long history playing alongside Trent Hodkinson at both junior club, junior representative and now senior representative level.

"That said, he can play a number of key positions so hell be an asset where ever he plays."
