All Blacks and Blues centre Roger Tuivasa-Sheck will end his stint in rugby union after agreeing to return to the NRL in 2024.
League star Tuivasa-Sheck made the switch to union towards the end of 2021, making his Blues and All Blacks Test debut in 2022.
However, the code-hopping midfielder has not made the desired impact, playing in just three Tests last year, and will return to his former league side Warriors next year.
“I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my time here at the Blues and made some great mates over the past two seasons,” Tuivasa-Sheck said.
“Out of respect for the Blues, my teammates, coaches and of course the fans, I’m not going into too much detail about my next move. One thing was clear to me though, once I knew what my future held, I wanted to announce this and quickly shift the focus back to this season.
“I’m a Blues man now and that’s where all my energy is going. We have an important run of games coming up as we push for a playoffs spot and ensuring we finish as high on the table as possible.”
