Wakefield Trinity news: star signing Roger Tuivasa-Sheck confirms huge acl injury blow
Wakefield Trinity’s star signing for 2027, Roger Tuivasa-Sheck, has confirmed he won’t play again this year after sustaining anterior cruciate ligament damage playing for New Zealand Warriors.
The 32-year-old full-back or winger has signed a two-season deal with Trinity beginning next term and the injury will bring his glittering NRL career to an end. In a message on social media, Tuivasa-Sheck revealed: “That’s my footy for the year. ACL confirmed. Tough to accept, but the season goes on. We got something special going. Big love for all the messages.”
A Warriors statement added: “Roger Tuivasa-Sheck has today received results confirming he will miss the remainder of the season with an acl injury. He will continue to play an important role without our group off the field as we build through the season together.”
The injury is likely to keep the former New Zealand rugby league and rugby union international off the field for around a year, ruling him out of Trinity’s pre-season and the start of their 2027 campaign.
