The Leilua brothers will link up in 2020 at Wests Tigers after a deal was reportedly reached with Joey to join the club.

According to the Daily Telegraph's David Riccio, the older Leilua has agreed a three-year deal with the club.

Younger brother Luciano headed to Concord from the Dragons earlier this off-season, while 28-year-old Joey is ending a five-season stint with the Raiders.

“I’m extremely pleased to welcome Joseph to Wests Tigers and start working with him,” coach Michael Maguire said. “He is without doubt one of the most dangerous attacking players in the competition and will take this team’s potency to a new level going forward.



“To secure a player of his class and talent for the season ahead is a huge boost for the club and one that will lift this team right across the park.



“I’m extremely confident that the best is also still to come for Joseph

“He brings a wealth of on-field experience to our team, and we’re extremely excited to watch him play in Wests Tigers colours for many years to come.”



The two-time Dally M Centre of the Year joins the Tigers having scored 89 tries in 204 first-grade games between the Roosters, Newcastle and Canberra.

Leilua, who has been capped 15 times by Samoa, will likely slot into the right centre position vacated by Esan Marsters, inside winger David Nofoaluma​.

More new recruits could yet come, with Souths utility Adam Doueihi also a chance to switch clubs following the arrival of Latrell Mitchell at Redfern.

For their part, Canberra will have a new-look backline in 2020 following the departure of Leilua and fellow outside back Jordan Rapana, who has joined Japanese rugby side Panasonic Wild Knights.

Leilua and Rapana formed one of the competition's most dynamic right edges, though last year's beaten grand finalists will have to reshape their attack.

Halfback Aidan Sezer has also left for the Super League, with English playmaker George Williams set to get first crack at the role next season.

Former Melbourne centre Curtis Scott has also been brought into the club to help plug the gap.
