The New Zealand Warriors have bagged another huge signing with Kiwi superstar Issac Luke joining the club from 2016.

South Sydney released Luke on compassionate grounds.

“I’ve been away from home for a long time now and I really miss it,” he said.

“I’ve loved playing for the Rabbitohs. They’ve done so much for me but I wanted to go back to New Zealand at some stage and I’m grateful they’ve allowed me to go.

“Going home to play for the Warriors has always been something I wanted to do. I know so many of the boys there and I also like what’s happening at the club since Jim has taken over.”
