As the longest-serving player for the New Zealand Warriors, Bunty Afoa's tenure with the club is coming to an end. After a decade with the team, it's reported that Afoa will be transitioning away, garnering interest from international clubs.
The 29-year-old has attracted attention from Super League teams following his departure from the Warriors, as noted by All Out Rugby League. He is becoming a sought-after player as he explores options for his career in 2026.
Several Super League clubs are keeping an eye on Afoa's situation while they assess their rosters and look to enhance their recruitment for the upcoming season. Though Afoa has previously been linked to overseas moves, he has consistently opted to stay in New Zealand.
With no current offers in the NRL, Afoa is once again considering a transfer to the Super League. While there haven't been any formal deals presented to the popular Warriors player, multiple clubs are anticipated to express interest in securing his talents to strengthen their forward lines for 2026.
