Kyle Flanagan is set to join his father and coach Shane at the Dragons after St George Illawarra tabled him a two-year deal, reports The Sydney Morning Herald.
The 24-year-old played his last game for Canterbury against the Gold Coast Titans on Sunday and is among a raft of players departing the Bulldogs after their awful season.
The signing will give the Dragons more back-up at halfback and hooker and help Shane, who’s set to begin a three-year deal with St George Illawarra.

The Dragons have already let go young playmaker Jayden Sullivan, who inked a four-year deal with Wests Tigers.
Kyle is about to take up a stint with his fourth NRL club, having already played at the Roosters, Bulldogs and Sharks, where he made his NRL debut under his father.
Kyle played nine NRL games with the Sharks across 2018 and 2019, before leaving for the Roosters because he was stuck behind Shaun Johnson and Chad Townsend.
He had a solid season with the Tricolours in 2020, scoring the third-highest number of points in the competition and helping the Roosters to a top-four berth while filling the massive boots of Cooper Cronk.

But he was offloaded from the Roosters to the Bulldogs because of the emergence of the prodigious Sam Walker.
Flanagan’s time at the Bulldogs then proved patchy with the playmaker being dropped from the first-grade side and being shifted between halfback, hooker and the bench.
In his time at Canterbury, the Bulldogs finished last in 2021, 12th in 2022 and 15th in 2023.
He’s now set to join a club that hasn’t played finals footy since 2018.
