South Sydney Rabbitohs forward Thomas Fletcher has confirmed his move to the New Zealand Warriors, signing a three-year deal effective from the start of 2027. Fletcher's departure follows limited opportunities at the Rabbitohs, where he made just seven first-grade appearances since debuting in 2025. The Warriors aim to strengthen their forward pack, especially following losses of other key players. Fletcher is expected to fill a gap likely left by Kurt Capewell, who may retire after the current season. The Rabbitohs' CEO acknowledged Fletcher's contributions during his tenure at the club.
