Wests Tigers have today confirmed that Tuimoala Lolohea will depart the club at the end of the 2018 season.

Lolohea has been released from the final year of his playing contract to take up a long-term option with Leeds Rhinos in Super League.

The 23-year-old joined Wests Tigers midway through the 2017 season and has played 23 games for the club since then, scoring five tries.

Wests Tigers would like to thank Tuimoala for his ongoing commitment to the club, and wish both he and his partner Fallon well in the future.
