Samoan prop Paterika Vaivai leaves Toulouse

Samoan prop Paterika Vaivai has left Toulouse by mutual consent.

The 29-year-old asked the Championship club for a release from his contract, which they agreed to do with immediate effect.

Vaivai made 27 appearances for Toulouse since joining the French club from Leigh in 2019, scoring seven tries.

A Toulouse statement read: “The entire TO XIII thanks Patty for his time at the club, and wish him the best for the future.”

Vaivai made 16 appearances in the NRL for Newcastle Knights and Gold Coast Titans before joining Leigh in 2018. He then played nine games for the Centurions before linking up with Toulouse.
