Peta Hiku: Warrington Wolves sign Penrith Panthers & New Zealand centre

Peta Hiku has won nine caps for New Zealand

Super League side Warrington Wolves have signed centre Peta Hiku from Penrith Panthers until November 2019.

The 24-year-old New Zealand international has moved to Wire with immediate effect and is the second mid-season signing in the past week after they brought in Ben Pomeroy.

Hiku started his career at Manly Sea Eagles and was in his second season at Penrith.

"He's a high quality player with plenty of experience," said coach Tony Smith.

"To come up with a quality signing like Peta is very exciting. He will add a lot to the group."
