South Sydney second rower Thomas Fletcher has signed with the One New Zealand Warriors on a three-year contract to the end of the 2029 NRL season.
The 22-year-old has moved to Auckland after making seven first-grade appearances in the past two seasons.
“Thomas is a quality back rower who now has the chance to build his career with us,” said One New Zealand Warriors general manager recruitment, pathways and development Andrew McFadden.
“We’ve had some back rowers who have moved on in Kayliss Fatialofa, Marata Niukore and Morgan Gannon. Thomas boosts our resources there and has the opportunity to create a future here in the same way Jackson Ford has.”
Fletcher played four NRL matches last year and a further three this year while he has made 38 New South Wales Cup appearances for the Rabbitohs over the last three seasons.
A St Gregory’s College product, he was selected in the Australian Schoolboys side in 2022. The squad included current Kiwi fullback Keano Kini and Tonga halfback Isaiya Katoa plus a number of NRL players in Blaize Talagi (Penrith), Arama Hau (Gold Coast), Joash Papalii (Parramatta), Josiah Pahulu (Melbourne), Chevy Stewart (Canberra), Jesse McLean (Penrith), Harrison Hassett (Cronulla-Sutherland), Karl Oloapu (Canterbury Bankstown) and Sam Tuivaiti (Parramatta).
