- Biography:
Teenager Tyra Wetere and Black Fern Shakira Baker were the first rugby union players signed in September last year as the Warriors built their squad for their return to the NRLW.
Secured for two seasons, Taupō-born Tyra lived in Sydney until she was seven before moving to Bay of Plenty where she later attended Mount Maunganui College.
Wetere has forged a rugby union career at age group level for Bay of Plenty while she has also represented the province in rugby league. In 2023 she was named the Bay of Plenty Rugby Union’s under-18 player of the year and also won the Bay of Plenty Rugby League’s under-18 back of the year honour.
Of Wetere's signing, head coach Ron Griffiths said: “Watching Tyra’s highlights we were immediately captivated.
“She’s a balanced runner who is dynamic and has an advanced skillset.
“After our initial discussions we knew that we wanted Tyra at the Warriors. It was evident she is humble, of great character and values hard work. We are looking forward to helping Tyra realise her potential.”On signing Wetere said: "As an 18-year-old starting my career with the NRLW Warriors, being selected after coming back from injury feels so surreal. When I got the call, I was absolutely buzzing. It’s something I’ve worked hard for and dreamed of for years.
"To be part of the Warriors’ return to the NRLW is such an incredible opportunity, and I’m honoured to be part of this journey.
“Ron has laid out his expectations clearly: hard work, determination and playing with heart on and off the field.
“As a young player, I’m dedicated to step up, learn from one of the best coaches in the game and play alongside some amazing wāhine I look up to.
“This is a big step for me and I’m ready to give everything I’ve got to be a part of the team’s future."
