Dual-code rugby international Mark Nawaqanitawase has signed a landmark two-year deal for more than AU$1 million a season with a Division One Japanese rugby team, despite strong interest from France.
Nawaqanitawase will finish this season with the Sydney Roosters in the NRL, before travelling to Japan ahead of the 2027 World Cup, which will take place in Australia.
The Roosters remain open to welcoming Nawaqanitawase back after his contract ends in Japan.
Nawaqanitawase’s valuation has shot up following a brilliant first season in the NRL.
He was always keen to play his club rugby abroad, after spending four years in Super Rugby with the NSW Waratahs.
