Toronto Wolfpack add Samoan international centre Ricky Leutele for next season
TORONTO — The Cronulla Sharks say Samoan international centre Ricky Leutele will join the Toronto Wolfpack next season.
The Australian-born Leutele has played 114 National Rugby League games since making his Sharks debut in 2010. Cronulla says Leutele has signed a three-year deal with Toronto.
“It was a hard decision,” Leutele was quoted on the Cronulla website. “Toronto came from left field with their offer and the wife and I had a long night talking about it. I had to make the decision for my family.
“The boys were all happy for me and they wished me well. I just want to finish this year strong and get to where we were in 2016 (when Cronulla won the NRL title).”
