Warriors star Roger Tuivasa-Sheck confirms move to English club Wakefield Trinity at season’s end

Friday, 27 March 2026

Warriors star Roger Tuivasa-Sheck is off to English Super League at the end of the season.

Warriors star Roger Tuivasa-Sheck has confirmed his rumoured move to English Super League club Wakefield Trinity at the end of the current NRL season.

The league-union double international is a former Warriors captain and the only player from the club to win the Dally M Medal, as the competition's Player of the Year.

Speculation over his future has been rife for about a year, since he was linked to the breakaway R360 rugby competition, which has since been delayed until 2028.

Tuivasa-Sheck, 32, is in the final year of his current contract with the Warriors and has explored a range of options, including staying at the club or moving back to Sydney, where his NRL career began with the Roosters.

'That's that done,' he declared on brother Johnny's YouTube channel. 'I've signed a two-year deal with Wakefield Trinity in the Super League.

Roger Tuivasa-Sheck has been a fan favourite at the Warriors.

'Take my services north, take my family with me… have an adventure, try and win the comp, and have a lot of fun, see how we go.

'Appreciate the support - the show goes on.'

His announcement ended with a written message: 'We'll save the goodbyes for later… I've still got a job to do.'

This month, Tuivasa-Sheck brought up his 150th game for the Warriors and he has won the Simon Mannering Medal as club MVP four times.

News of the Wakefield Trinity broke earlier this week and coach Andrew Webster countered questions over his veteran's future with a straight bat.

'I've had plenty of conversations,' Webster acknowledged. '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 and if there's an opportunity for him at the end of the season to stay, we'd celebrate that too.

'It will all become clearer, but we've had really good conversation and we're on the same page, which is always a good feeling between a player and a coach.'

Among Tuivasa-Sheck's new teammates will be former Warriors utility Jazz Tevaga.

Despite all the individual accolades that have come his way, he is yet to deliver the Auckland club an NRL championship, which he won with the Roosters in 2013.

He captained the side to a five-game winning start to the 2018 campaign, which ended with elimination by Penrith Panthers in the first round of the playoffs.

Tuivasa-Sheck left the club for two years, chasing his All Blacks dream, and missed the first season under Webster, when the team finished one win away from their third grand final.
