WARRINGTON Wolves have confirmed the signing of prop Lama Tasi from Salford Red Devils for next season.
The Samoan international has vast Super League experience with St Helens as well as the Red Devils and joins The Wire on a one-year deal.
Before that, Tasi played in the NRL for Sydney Roosters and Brisbane Broncos.
"The club speaks for itself with everyone in the squad and the signings they are making," the 28-year-old said.
"I’m good mates with Bennie Murdoch-Masila too and it will be good to play with him again.
"This is a massive opportunity for me and I’m looking forward to pre-season and hopefully making a difference next year.
“I was fortunate to have Pricey coach me in 2013 with Samoa, that’s how we first met, and he’s done well with the Wire, he’s turned things around this year.
"I’m excited about this opportunity and to hopefully look at winning some silverware.
“I work hard at my role in the team and will give 100%.
“I will enjoy the off-season with my family now and then look forward to meeting the team.”
As Tasi mentioned, Price coached him during his brief spell as Samoa national team coach.
He says the aggression Tasi brings is exactly what he wants from his forward pack.
"He’s got a bit of footy in him. It’s a great acquisition for us," he said.
"I worked with Lama with the Samoa national team a number of years ago and I like what he brings.
"He brings a fair amount of intent to his play and he’s aggressive which I like all my forwards to be."
