HERE is the Cronulla Sharks' latest signing: a Tongan-born centre.
For the last few years Sosaia Feki has been a member of the strong New Zealand Warriors squad, which shone this year when they managed to get three teams play in all three grand finals.
Feki was a member of the under 20s Toyota Cup team that edged out the North Queensland Cowboys in extra time. He was in the Warriors side that won the 2010 grand final.
In the past two years Feki scored 15 tries for the young Warriors.
Aged just 20, the 90-kilogram, 188-centimetres tall youngster — a Junior Kiwis International Player this year — is still eligible for Toyota Cup.
He represents an investment in the future for Shane Flanagan's first grade team.
Feki joined the Sharks training squad recently and has impressed Sharks trainers with his attitude.
He's also not a bad goalkicker.
