In a statment on the Titans' website, coach Garth Brennan described how Cartwright would fit in with the club.
“I’ve known Bryce since he was 17 and I’m so pleased that we can work together again,” Brennan said.
“I’ve seen him develop over the past seven years and I believe he is one of the most skillful players I’ve seen on a football field.
“He is a massive signing for the club and look forward to seeing him in Titans colours.”
AllSportsPeople' reported the potential move back in December through NRL Leaks that Brennan had his eye on Cartwright.
