Former Tigers centre announced his returns.
Mahe Fonua, a former NRL outside back for the Melbourne Storm and Wests Tigers, has decided to return to Australia, linking up with a new team.
After last playing in the NRL in 2019 and a four-year stint overseas in the Super League, Fonua has signed a two-year contract with the Mackay Cutters in the QLD Cup.
One of the first NRL players born and raised in Victoria, Fonua had an outstanding junior career that saw him be named to the NYC U20s Team of the Year and represent Victoria’s U15s and U18s teams, as well as the Junior Kangaroos.
While he showed glimpses of brilliance in the NRL for the Storm – averaging a try every second game – he struggled to find consistency for long periods of time.
