Jackson will take over as playing coach after Ben Jeffery decided to step down from the role late last season.
The powerful second rower or lock scored 14 tries over two seasons with Yanco-Wamoon. Originally hailing from New Zealand, Jackson has played in France as well as Sydney, where he first encountered Jeffery.
After playing representative football this year alongside Thunder star Dave Cowhan, Jackson said he was looking forward to arriving on the Border.
“I can’t wait,” he said. “I’ve known a few of the boys for a while, so I’m looking forward to getting down here with them and having a bit of a change.
“I know the club has been a bit unlucky of late, but I’ve heard a lot of great things about them and was really keen to get down here.” He said he was looking forward to the challenge.
