Paterika Vaivai commits to Toulouse
Toulouse prop Paterika Vaivai has signed a new deal with the club until at least the end of 2022.
The 28-year-old has scored seven tries in 27 appearances since joining the French club in 2019.
Vaivai said: “I’m really excited to stay in Toulouse for the next two seasons.
“I made some friends here and I would like to help Toulouse move up to the Super League, and thus be part of the history of this club.
“I thank the coaches and my team-mates for trusting me, and my wife for her unfailing support.”
Toulouse president Bernard Sarrazain added: “Gradually, he takes an increasingly important place within the group.”
Vaivai made 16 appearances in the NRL for Newcastle Knights and Gold Coast Titans before joining Leigh in 2018.
