Departed\u00a0Wests Tigers<\/a> outside back Izaac Tu’itupou<\/a> has agreed to sign with a new club ahead of next season, which will allow him to continue his rugby league playing career.<\/p>\n

One of six players farewelled by the\u00a0Wests Tigers<\/a>\u00a0at the end of the 2025\u00a0NRL<\/a>\u00a0season, alongside the likes of\u00a0Brandon Tumeth<\/a> and Brent Naden<\/a>, Tu’itupou has signed with Lakes United Seagulls, who compete in the Denton Engineering Cup.<\/p>\n

Established in 1945, the Seagulls compete in the Newcastle competition out of Lake Macquarie and will be looking to improve on their 2025 campaign, in which they finished second-last, ahead only of the Northern Hawks.<\/p>\n

Although he played only one match for the Wests Tigers<\/a> this season, the 29-year-old previously spent several years with the South Sydney Rabbitohs<\/a>.<\/p>\n

During his time in the Cardinal and Myrtle, he was a regular in the NSW Cup<\/a>, which saw him named in the competition’s Team of the Year in 2023 and scored six tries in 13 first-grade matches for the club between 2022 and 2024.<\/p>\n
