Caelys Putoko, a promising rugby talent from New Zealand, has made a surprising decision to join the Titans, according to a report on titans.com.au.
The 18-year-old, who has been touted as one of the country's top prospects, has opted to pursue a career in rugby league instead of following the traditional path of playing union.
Putoko, who graduated from Hamilton Boys High School and represented New Zealand at the junior level, had garnered attention from several Super Rugby clubs.
However, he has chosen to make the switch to league and has cited Manu Vatuvei, a former New Zealand Warriors star, as a source of inspiration for his decision.
The move is seen as a bold and unexpected step for the young athlete, but it reflects his determination to carve out a successful career in a new sporting arena.
