After attracting the Picker brothers to the club this season, next year the Cherrypickers will line up with Mitch, Tyler and Nick Cornish.
Mitch Cornish played 20 NRL games for Canberra and the Roosters, while Tyler played one game for Gold Coast Titans before returning home to Goulburn.
The trio all played together in 2018, with Mitch Cornish going on to be named the best player in the Canberra Raiders Cup, before COVID struck.
Mitch Cornish is looking forward to making the move to Young.
"We went down on the weekend to have a look around and meet the boys and everyone involved and came away pretty excited and ready to rip in," Cornish said.
"We keep high expectations of ourselves so we want to go down there and do a job."
With plans to move to Young it was Nick who led the change with the trio keen to play together after very little football this year.
"I was looking to wind down the footy side of things but Nick was going to be moving out that way and my priority was to play with my two younger brothers so they made the decision to sign there and I followed them really," Cornish said.
Mitch is a halfback while Tyler has played five-eighth and Nick fullback with Goulburn.
Young coach Nick Hall is thrilled to have the trio on board after their best showing in over a decade after making it to the preliminary final.
"It's a very good trio," Hall said. "They are quality players and leaders and we really welcome them to our club as we need some quality players and we need some leaders.
"They fill the role and they're well credentialed who are nice guys who bring good culture and they are the sort of people who we want to bring into the club."
Young will be without exciting centres Tom Jenkins and Nic Hall next season while veterans Joe Picker and Mick Dodson won't play again.
However Hall hasn't given up hopes of Mick and Ben Picker sticking around either.
"We're keen to get Mick and Ben but Ben has to rehab his knee," Hall said.
