The Diesels have welcomed back Simione Naiduki for a third season after the Fijian was unable to take his place in the shortened competition this season.

The imposing front rower was unable to travel back from his homeland to take his place in the side.

However his return will add plenty of power to the Diesels forward pack after impressing in his first stint with the Diesels.

Co-coach Simon Wilson is thrilled to have him back on board.

"We have a fair few big fellas so we won't be lacking in the forwards that's for sure," Wilson said.

He will be joined by Are Monoka.

Monoka is another big body who will link with the club and first impressions look good.

"He travelled around Malaysia playing union last year and we've seen a few videos of him and he looks really good," Wilson said.

It's part of a relationship the club has created with the abattoirs as they look to rebuild their base after a number of years without junior sides.

Junee also had a couple of familiar faces sign on for another season.

Star fullback Daniel Foley has committed to another year with his junior club.

The speedster, who is a former captain of the club, is confident the right mix is forming at the club.

"We've got a few old faces back and a few new ones so it should be good," Foley said.

Pat Sweeney will also return for another season with the club while brother Aidan Sweeney has indicated he will commit as well.

With a number of other familiar faces expected to return to the fold Wilson believes the club is building back up after a slow start to the off-season.
