Warrington Wolves’ new signing Thomas Mikaele arrives

“To get the opportunity to come over to the Wire is exciting for me and my family. I can’t wait to get over there.

“It’s a fresh start for me and an opportunity to showcase what I can do.

“Being so young still I’ve still got plenty of time and a lot of growth in the game. My best footy is still ahead of me and I’m keen to start showcasing that. Hopefully I can improve a lot as a player at Warrington.

“I’ve been at Wests for six years and that’s pretty much all I’ve known. I’ve grown a lot since playing my first year up to now and I’ll always be grateful I got to play in the NRL and represent the Wests Tigers. I’m keen for my next chapter now which is in Super League.”

And, look out Super League because he has now arrived in the country from Brisbane airport!

Posting on Instagram, the hulking forward put his location at Thelwall, a village in Warrington, with an eye to be potentially playing at the weekend against Wakefield Trinity on Sunday.
