The Sydney Roosters have announced the signing of Fiji Bati captain and three-time Super League champion Kevin Naiqama for season 2022.

The 32-year-old returns to Australia after a successful three-year stint at Super League club St Helens, where he played an integral part in the club's three consecutive championships, including his two-try performance in the 2021 Super League Grand Final which saw him claim the Harry Sunderland Medal as the man of the match.

With 113 NRL games under his belt, Fiji Captain and three-time Super League champion Kevin Naiqama will add plenty of experience to the Roosters 2022 squad.

A veteran of the NRL with 113 matches to his name for the Newcastle Knights, Penrith Panthers and Wests Tigers, Naiqama adds plenty of versatility and experience to the Sydney Roosters backline, able to play in the centres, on the wing and at fullback, having done so at club and international level.

Leading on and off the field, Naiqama has represented Fiji in 19 test matches and 10 World Cup matches, captaining the side since 2016, including the 2017 Rugby League World Cup.
