FRESH from a World Cup campaign with Greece, Cessnock junior Robert Tuliatu will continue his rugby league career at English Championship club Newcastle Thunder.
Tuliatu, 27, has signed a one-year deal with the Thunder in 2023 following a season for the London Broncos as part of the same second-tier competition.
"I'm really excited to be joining Thunder," Tuliatu told the club's media.
"I've visited Newcastle before, and I think it's a fantastic city where rugby league can continue to expand.
"I'm really looking forward to working with [coach] Chris Thorman and putting our best foot forward next season."
Tuliatu becomes Thorman's eighth addition to the Thunder squad.
"Robert is someone I've known for a while now. He's good friends with my brother and just finished his World Cup campaign with Greece," Thorman said.
"I'm big on trying to get the dynamic of the group right and the balance of the squad right, and Rob is a genuine character and really good human being. He's going to be a great addition to the club."
Upper Hunter product Lachlan Walmsley, who represented Scotland at the World Cup, continues with Halifax.
