Tonga international Hingano signed for the Knights midway through last season, having made 18 appearances during Leigh Leopards’ Betfred Championship promotion-winning campaign.

The Auckland-born half-back began his professional career in the NRL, with New Zealand Warriors and Canberra Raiders before moving to England in 2021 when signing for Betfred Super League side Salford Red Devils. A switch to Leigh followed a year later.

The mercurial playmaker has earned eight caps for Tonga, featuring in all of his nation’s matches during the 2017 World Cup.
