The Wests Tigers are excited to announce that Sunia Turuva will remain with the Club through until 2030.
Turuva – original contracted until the end of 2027 – has put pen-to-paper on a three-year extension keeping him at Concord until at least the end of the 2030 NRL season.
The extension comes soon after fellow Tigers, Jahream Bula and the May brothers – Taylan and Terrell – announced their plans to stay at Concord through to 2030.
The Fijian international debuted for the Penrith Panthers in late-2022, winning two NRL Grand Finals and the Dally M Rookie of the Year (2023) – before making the move to Concord ahead of the 2025 season.
Since joining the Club, Turuva has scored 15 tries from 33 appearances, with the exciting outside back impressing in attack this season, averaging 153 run metres and scoring a hat-trick in his side’s win over Newcastle in Round 5.
Turuva also has two try assists to his name this campaign, along with 36 tackle breaks and 10 line breaks.
The 23-year-old brings several intangible assets to Benji Marshall's squad, leading both on and off the field and proving a key player in the Club's rebuild.
‘Tito’ as he is affectionately known, is loving life at the Wests Tigers.
“It’s been special to be part of Benji’s vision here at the Club, and play my role in what we’re building,” Turuva said.
The connection and culture we’ve created inside this group has been a massive part of our growth. I love playing alongside my brothers and can’t wait for what’s ahead.

“I’m grateful to Benji and the Club for the faith they’ve shown in me, and my family for the support they give me away from footy. I just want to keep repaying them on the field each week.”
NRL Head Coach, Benji Marshall welcomed the news of Turuva extending his stay with the Club.
“Tito brings so much to our team. He’s a huge character that adds so much energy to everything we do,” Marshall said.
“He’s got a great work ethic and is a big driver of our standards. Tito is a leader within our group, not just through his voice but through his professionalism, competitiveness and team first mentality.
“Really pleased to have Tito with us for the next four seasons. He’s growing as a player, and we think his best is still to come.
“We couldn’t be happier to have Tito and his family here at the Tigers until 2030.”
