    Rugby league has snapped up another talented Kiwi from the rugby union ranks


    Chiefs and Canterbury outside back Solomon Alaimalo has signed with Wests Tigers for the 2024 NRL season.

    The 27-year-old spent two seasons with the Highlanders in 2021 and 2022 - but struggles with mental health meant he played just once for the southern franchise before returning to the Chiefs for 2023.

    NRL COVERAGE WITH PIT STOP. WHEN A DASH WARNING LIGHT SHOWS, THEY'LL SORT IT.
