Bird was a stand out for the Dragons in their victory over Newcastle in the first week of the NYC finals last weekend.
A NSW Under 20's representative this season, Bird will train the Sharks NRL squad in 2015 and will still be eligible for the NYC.
“He is an outstanding talent, which is shown by his extensive junior representative background,” Mooney said. “We are confident Jack can make the transition from the NYC into the NRL and we will give him every opportunity to make that step.
“We’re thrilled he has decided to join us next year, we think he can learn from the likes of Paul Gallen, Luke Lewis and our other senior players and are confident he can develop into a quality NRL player.”
