Warrington Wolves have signed forward Kelepi Tanginoa from Hull KR on a two-year contract, with the club having the option of an extra 12 months.

Tanginoa, 31, spent two seasons with Hull KR, playing 59 games and scoring 16 tries for the Robins after five seasons with Wakefield Trinity.

The Australian played at Wembley in the Challenge Cup final in June when Hull KR beat Wire to lift the trophy for the first time in 45 years.

But he was not involved in the Grand Final in October as Willie Peters' side defeated Wigan Warriors to complete the treble.

Now he will be part of a reconstructed Warrington team as head coach Sam Burgess tries to improve on their disappointing eighth-placed finish in 2025.

"The opportunity to work alongside Sam Burgess and Steve McNamara is massive," Tanginoa told the club website, external.

"I'm looking forward to what they can add to my game, and where I can add value to the team as well."
