King Vuniyayawa has joined Leeds Rhinos on a one-year contract from NRL side New Zealand Warriors

Fiji Bati rep, King Vuniyayawa has found a new home in Super League after being released by the Warriors after his maiden NRL season.

The 25-year-old has signed a one-year deal with the Leeds Rhinos for the 2021 season due to start in March.

Vuniyayawa made his NRL debut for the Warriors in round one of the 2020 season, but played just five games.

He was among a group of four players who chose to leave the Warriors’ Australian training base last July to return to Auckland to be with their families.

Vuniyayawa was initially offered a deal by the Warriors for 2021, but it was later withdrawn, prompting him to look for a new club.
