Kane Evans to join New Zealand Warriors

Parramatta prop Kane Evans will join New Zealand Warriors on two-year deal from 2021. 

The 28-year-old has made 108 NRL appearances for Sydney Roosters and the Eels. He has earned 13 caps for Fiji on the international stage.

Warriors’ recruitment manager Peter O’Sullivan said: “Kane is a really important signing for us as he brings the size, leg speed and aggression that we are looking to add to our pack.

“With Ben Murdoch-Masila coming, the rise of young Eliesa Katoa, Jack Murchie joining us and now Kane it dramatically changes the dynamics of the squad.

“Kane always played in winning teams during his junior days and he brings that winning culture with him.

“Through his time at the Roosters and Parramatta he knows what this looks like and this was an ingredient we were keen to add to our squad.

“He is also a fantastic team man who can galvanise teams with a sense of fun and he engenders great enthusiasm into a group.”
