Super League club Wakefield have announced the signing of forward Kelepi Tanginoa from Manly Sea Eagles on a deal until the end of 2021.

Tanginoa, 25, who can play in the middle or back row, began training with his new teammates on Tuesday and could make his debut against Catalans Dragons in the Magic Weekend at Anfield on Saturday.

Trinity coach Chris Chester said: “I’m over the moon we’ve got Kelepi tied down for the next two and a half years.

“He’s a player I’ve been trying to sign for the last few years, so to have him on board now is great for us.”

Tanginoa has also spent time in Australia with Parramatta and North Queensland.

“There are a few boys that I know already such as Tinirau Arona, Jacob Miller and David Fifita,” he said.

“I met the rest of the boys this morning and they seem a really good bunch. I’m looking forward to us all working together.”
