Posted: Wed Jan 22, 2020 9:25 am
Warrington Wolves confirm the signing of prop forward Leilani Latu on a two-year deal until November 2021.
Latu, 26, stands at six foot two, and packs a punch up front at 112kg. He made his professional debut in 2015 for Penrith Panthers before moving to the Gold Coast Titans in 2018. He has made 58 NRL appearances to date, and has represented Tonga on the international stage as well as playing for the Indigenous All Stars and NSW City.
The skilful powerhouse was in high demand across the Betfred Super League having been made available by the Titans, Warrington beating off the competition to make the signing.
Warrington head coach Steve Price said: “We are always looking for quality rugby players to bring to our club and we feel Leilani fits that. I’m looking forward to working with him and developing his game during his time at Warrington as we feel there is a lot more he can bring to the game.”
Latu added on signing for the Wire: “I’m looking forward to getting into training with the boys and creating some combinations with them. It’s an exciting brand of footy here and I couldn’t turn down the opportunity. I chose Warrington because of the quality of players and I have played with a couple of them back in the NRL too; Ben Murdoch-Masila and Sitaleki Akauola at Penrith and we had some success there.”
