Wests Tigers is delighted to announce the signing of off-contract Panthers’ winger, Sunia Turuva, on a three-year deal.

The 21-year-old, who was NRL Rookie of the Year last season, will link up with Wests Tigers at the end of the 2024 season.

He will join fellow Fiji internationals Api Koroisau and Jahream Bula, as well as current Panthers teammate, Jarome Luai.

Turuva set the NRL alight in 2023 scoring 12 tries in 26 appearances in the Panthers premiership-winning season, and he has continued that same form 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 electric and brings great energy to the field every time he plays.  Most of all he is a great person with great values.

“We look forward to welcoming Sunia and his family to the club.”
