Departed Manly Sea Eagles<\/a> winger Raymond Tuaimalo Vaega<\/a> has signed a new deal that will allow him to continue his rugby league playing career heading into next season.<\/p>\n One of nine players farewelled by the Manly Sea Eagles<\/a> at the end of the 2025 NRL<\/a> season, alongside the likes of Dean Matterson<\/a> and Tommy Talau<\/a>, Vaega has agreed to join the North Sydney Bears on a one-year contract for next season.<\/p>\n Despite not featuring in a first-grade match this year, the 25-year-old registered 12 appearances in the NRL<\/a> for the Sea Eagles since his debut against the Canberra Raiders<\/a> in Round 24 of 2022.<\/p>\n An aggressive outside back who can play either on the wing or in the centres, he will look to push for a starting position at the Bears as he attempts to reclaim the form he had a couple of years ago.<\/p>\n He will also help mentor the younger players in the squad as they prepare to no longer have the Melbourne Storm<\/a> as a feeder club due to them having their own NSW Cup<\/a> team in 2026.<\/p>\n
