WARRINGTON Wolves have confirmed the signing of forward Kelepi Tanginoa on a two-year deal, with a club option of a further 12 months.
The forward joins the club from Hull KR after a successful two-year stint at Sewell Group Craven Park, where he scored 16 tries in 59 appearances.
Tanginoa joins Liam Byrne and Toafofoa Sipley as another powerful addition to Sam Burgess’ forward pack for 2026.
Before his time with the Robins, the 31-year-old scored 22 tries in 88 games for Wakefield Trinity and enjoyed spells with Parramatta Eels, North Queensland Cowboys and Manly Sea Eagles in the NRL.
Kelepi will take squad number 34 and be proudly sponsored by Lewis Bros Ice Cream.
On joining Warrington Wolves, Tanginoa said: “I’m excited to get started at such a big club, just to be here is surreal. The opportunity to work alongside Sam Burgess and Steve McNamara is massive, and I’m looking forward to what they can add to my game, and where I can add value to the team as well.
“I’ve played here a few times, and it’s very, very loud, so to be on this side now is going to be awesome.”
Head Coach, Sam Burgess said: “Kelepi is a fantastic addition for us ahead of the new season. He brings a great level of experience and will add some punch to the group. We’re looking forward to welcoming him into the playing squad.”
