Sharks release Fifita to Super League

Cronulla have released prop David Fifita, allowing him to take up an opportunity with English Super League club Wakefield.

Fifita, the twin brother of Sharks and NSW forward Andrew, was recently granted three weeks leave to address personal issues and travelled to the UK.

The 26-year-old spent 10 days in hospital earlier in the season with a golden staph infection and has made just two NRL appearances in 2016.
