Rabbitohs Sign Nigel Vagana for Two Years
The Real Insurance Rabbitohs have announced the signing of New Zealand international Nigel Vagana, with Rabbitohs CEO Shane Richardson finalising the two-year contract today.
Vagana has played 198 first grade games since 1996 and 32 Tests for New Zealand since 1998 including captaining the side against the Australians in the 2006 Anzac Test.
Mr Richardson says: Nigel Vagana is one of the most potent attacking weapons in the NRL. He is the current Kiwi Test captain and his experience and leadership will be invaluable for our young backline.
South Sydney Football Club Executive Chairman Peter Holmes à Court says that Vagana is as impressive off the field as he is on the field.
I met with Nigel and was impressed with the fact he has studied to obtain his first architectural qualifications while playing at a top level, Mr Holmes à Court said.
He is setting himself up for an exciting chapter at the Rabbitohs and has set the foundations for a solid career beyond football.
