The Wests Tigers have made a bold move by signing former rugby union star Solomon Alaimalo, who wasted no time in making his mark during his first training session with the club.
According to news.com.au, the hulking outside back completed his first session with the Tigers on Monday, bringing his Super Rugby speed and strength to the team.
After seasons with the Chiefs and Canterbury, the 27-year-old has decided to switch codes and join the Tigers.
Coach Benji Marshall expressed his excitement, describing Alaimalo as an explosive athlete with incredible speed, power, and agility.
Not only will he bring physical attributes to the team, but also leadership and experience.
Alaimalo will briefly return to New Zealand for Christmas before rejoining his teammates in the new year.
