After announcing his retirement in September this year, former Cronulla Sharks forward David Fifita will once again lace up the boots.
Fifita has been confirmed to be joining the Entrance Tigers which will see him play alongside former NRL playmaker Blake Austin.
The 34-year-old and twin brother ofย Andrew Fifitaย began his rugby league career with St Patrick Blackdown and Doonside Roos before being signed by theย Wests Tigersย in 2009. Here, he would spend four seasons with the club and play in the U20s competition andย NSW Cup.
It wouldn't be until 2014 when he would make hisย NRLย debut. Returning toย Australiaย after a stint with Lezignan Sangliers in the Elite One Championship, he would be picked up by theย Cronulla Sharksย on a two-year deal and would debut in Round 2 against theย Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs.
Unfortunately, it wouldn't work out for Fifita in theย NRL, and he soon moved to theย Super League, where he would spend the majority of his career. His time overseas spanned eight seasons and 148 games for theย Wakefield Trinity, Dewsbury Rams and Crigglestone All Blacks.
His career accolades also include three games forย Tongaย between 2010 and 2019, one game for the Indigenous All Stars in 2015 and one game for the Combined Nations All Stars in 2022.
