The 34 year-old made the switch to the LNER Community Stadium after three years at Warrington Wolves.

The prop forward, who is a dual Italian and Australian international, made his NRL debut in 2013 for Canberra Raiders, where he played for four seasons. He then moved on to St.George Illawarra before going to Canterbury Bulldogs in 2022.

After joining Warrington Wolves in Super League, he became a regular in the side, and played in their Betfred Challenge Cup final appearances in 2024 and 2025.
