Roger Tuivasa-Sheck has put an end to speculation over his playing future.
The Warriors star took to social media on Friday to confirm rumours he's heading to UK Super League club Wakefield Trinity on a two-year deal.
"I'll head north, take my family with me, have an adventure and try to win a comp," Tuivasa-Sheck said in a video on his brother's YouTube channel.
"I appreciate all of the support. The show goes on."

The veteran of 230 NRL appearances was reportedly keenly pursued by South Sydney Rabbitohs and his former club the Sydney Roosters, but has opted to make his way north to reunite with former Warriors teammate Jazz Tevaga at Wakefield.
The newly promoted club made the playoffs in their first year back in the top flight under head coach Daryl Powell.
The 32-year-old dual international leaves the NRL as a Dally M medallist (2018) and a Premiership winner, having powered the Roosters to glory back in 2013.
In 2016, he joined the Warriors, leaving in 2021 for a stint in rugby, where he earned All Blacks honours, returning to Mt Smart in 2024.
Tuivasa-Sheck will run out on the wing for the Warriors on Friday, as they take on the Wests Tigers in a bid to go 4-0 to start their 2026 campaign.
