Mate Ma’a Tonga star hooker Siliva Havili has been signed by the Canberra Raiders on a one-year-deal. The Auckland born 24-year-old was instrumental in Tonga’s success at the 2017 Rugby League World Cup, setting up numerous plays and scoring a try against England.

The Canberra Raiders announced the signing yesterday 7 December. The signing follows the injury of Raider’s star hooker Josh Hodgson.

Raider’s high-performance manager Peter Mulholland stated in the announcement, “Siliva had a wonderful World Cup tournament for Tonga and he joins the squad to give us some depth to cover the unfortunate loss of Josh Hodgson.”

Mulholland added, “We’re looking forward to him joining the squad and having a solid pre-season with his new club.”

Havili started his NRL career for the New Zealand Warriors in 2014 before playing for the St George Illawarra Dragons in 2016.
