The 29-year-old New Zealander joined Rhinos from Cronulla Sharks in May, 2019.

He scored four tries in 32 appearances and was a Challenge Cup winner last year before being released from the final year of his contract, three months ago, for personal reasons.

Seumanufagai played for Bulldogs in a pre-season trial match against Cronulla and has featured in the opening three games of feeder club Mounties' New South Wales Cup campaign.
