Rapira heading to Toulouse

Huddersfield prop Sam Rapira will leave the club at the end of the season to join Championship side Toulouse.

Rapira, 30, has made 53 appearances for the Giants since joining from New Zealand Warriors ahead of the 2016 season.

He said: “I’m really excited about this new experience.

“I have heard only good things about this club and the city in general. I cannot wait to get to Toulouse.”

Rapira made 175 appearances in the NRL and was part of the New Zealand team that won the 2008 World Cup.

Toulouse narrowly missed out on a place in the Championship top four and the chance to reach Super League this season.
