New Zealand Warriors have confirmed the signing of Kodi Nikorima from Brisbane Broncos on a deal until the end of 2021.

The New Zealand half-back has earned 13 caps for the Kiwis since making his international debut back in 2015.

Nikorima made his NRL bow for Brisbane in 2015 and has scored 24 tries in 88 first-grade appearances.

On joining the Warriors, Nikorima said: “I’m really excited about coming to the Vodafone Warriors and moving to Auckland.

“It’s a new challenge after being at the Broncos for so long but I’m looking forward to working with the coaching staff and the players.

“I like the direction the club is heading in and it will also be good to be around a lot of familiar faces, both the coaches and team-mates.

“I also want to thank the Broncos for the opportunity they gave me to develop as a player. The club has been a huge part of my life and I’m grateful for the way so many people supported me there.”
