NZ Warriors star Roger Tuivasa-Sheck has signed a two-year deal with English Super League's Wakefield Trinity.
In a video shared to his brothers' YouTube channel, the Warriors winger confirmed his signing with the English club following growing speculation.
"I just signed a two-year deal with Wakefield Trinity in the Super League,” Tuivasa-Sheck said.
“Take my services north, take the family with me. Have an adventure, try and win the comp, and have a lot of fun. Let’s see how we go.
"Appreciate all the support. Show goes on."
The video ended with a written message, which read: "We'll save the goodbyes for later... I've still got a job to do," apparently in reference to the rest of this season with the Warriors.
The 32-year-old's future with the club had subject to speculation since last year, with NZ Warriors coach Andrew Webster saying earlier this week he still hoped to retain Tuivasa-Sheck.
"Whichever way it goes, whether he stays or wherever he ends up, if he plays union or plays league... if he leaves, he goes with our blessing," Webster said.
"If there's an opportunity for him at the end of the season to stay, we'd celebrate that too."
Founded in 1873, West Yorkshire-based Wakefield Trinity is currently sixth on the English Super League ladder.
Tuivasa-Sheck first rose to prominence in rugby league with the Sydney Roosters, winning the 2013 NRL Premiership, before becoming a star fullback for the New Zealand Warriors and awarded the Dally M Medal in 2018.
He switched codes to rugby union, signing with the Blues and representing the All Blacks, before returning to the Warriors in 2024 under a three-year deal.
Tuivasa-Sheck will depart the NZ Warriors at the end of the current NRL season.
