Rugby league and rugby union internationals are among the 24 players locked in for the Warriors’ re-entry into the NRLW this year.

The squad was completed when hooker Avery-Rose Carmont was signed as the 24th an final player.

Her recruitment followed Black Ferns rugby union international Patricia Maliepo being confirmed as the 23rd signing in April.

In late December the club confirmed 11 more signings headlined by Black Ferns rugby union super star Michaela Brake (née Blyde) and fellow Black Fern Tysha Ikenasio.

Of the players secured 10 have NRLW experience and four have excelled on the international rugby union stage for the Black Ferns.

Fullback Apii Nicholls, the first player signed last September, is the most experienced NRLW player in the squad with 28 appearances for the original Warriors, Titans and Raiders.
