Star Warriors veteran Roger Tuivasa-Sheck is reportedly set quit the NRL and join the English Super League.

Off-contract at the end of the season, the 2018 Dally M Medallist reportedly had interest from Sydney Roosters and the Rabbitohs to stay in the NRL.

But according to Love Rugby League, Tuivasa-Sheck is set to link up with Wakefield Trinity for 2027 in a huge coup for the English game.

The publication called the move "one of the most unexpected, but seismic, deals in the Super League era".

He will join former NRL players Jazz Tevaga and Tyson Smoothy at the Super League club.

At this stage, it remains unclear how many years the new deal will cover.
