French club Albi have announced the signing of Widnes forward Manase Manuokafoa for 2018.

Manuokafoa, 32, has spent the past three seasons with the Vikings after joining from Bradford following their relegation from Super League.

The former Tonga international has made 71 appearances for Widnes in that time.

He played for the Vikings in their opening Qualifiers defeat to Warrington last Friday.
