Tuimoala Lolohea has officially left the Warriors and informed Wests Tigers that he will sign with them.
The 22-year-old, who fell out of favour with Warriors coach Stephen Kearney, had been seeking a release from the club for the past few weeks.
The Warriors allowed him to talk to other NRL teams and the Tigers along with the Raiders and Cowboys all put offers to the one-test Kiwi.
Lolohea was granted the release on Friday after the Warriors completed the signing of Zac Santo from the Raiders to be his replacement.
Lolohea was then able to make his final decision on which club to join and went with the Ivan Cleary-coached Tigers, agreeing to a 2-1/2 year deal.
He has waived the 10-day cooling period and will be ready to play for the joint venture in next weekend's game against the Dragons.
MORE TO COME
