Warriors prop Addin Fonua-Blake will return to Australia for 2025 NRL season after securing a move to the Cronulla Sutherland Sharks.
It was confirmed early last month that Fonua-Blake had requested a release on compassionate grounds from the last three years of his contract but agreement was subsequently reached for him to remain with the Warriors for the 2024 season.
Warriors ceo Cameron George said the club had been in discussions with the Sharks and a deal had been reached for Fonua-Blake to join the Sharks from 2025.
"The arrangement excludes a player swap but we will continue to consider our options," he said.
The Dally M Prop of the Year was a key part of the Warriors' run to the NRL preliminary finals this year but the 27-year-old was looking to move back to Sydney to be closer to his parents.
Fonua-Blake joined the Warriors in 2021 from the Manly Sea Eagles where he debuted in 2016.
