DONE DEAL: Wests Tigers signed a three-year contract.
The Wests Tigers are pleased to announce the signing of off-contract Panthers winger Sunia Turuva on a three-year deal.
The 21-year-old, who was named NRL Rookie of the Year last season, will join Wests Tigers at the end of the 2024 season.
He will join fellow Fijian internationals Api Koroisau and Jahream Bula, as well as current Panthers player Jarome Luai.
Turuva dominated the NRL in 2023, scoring 12 tries in 26 appearances in the Panthers’ premiership-winning season, and he has carried that success into 2024.
His double against Wests Tigers in Bathurst last weekend took his season tally to eight tries from seven games.
Wests Tigers coach Benji Marshall is excited by what Sunia will bring to the club.
“Sunia is a great signing for us as a club moving forward.” said Marshall.
“He is a premiership winner and a genuine footy player who also has great versatility.
“He is electrifying and exudes energy on the field every time he plays.Most importantly, he is a wonderful person with excellent values.
“We look forward to welcoming Sunia and his family to the club.”
