Roger Tuivasa-Sheck has signed a two-year deal with New Zealand Rugby and aligned with the Blues and Auckland.

The Warriors captain will switch to rugby after the 2021 NRL season and has signed with NZ Rugby through to the end of 2023.

The 27-year-old will link up with Auckland for the Mitre 10 Cup later this year.

He last played rugby for the Blues development squad after turning out for Otahuhu College’s First XV before signing with the Sydney Roosters in the NRL in 2011.
