The Warriors have re-signed Ligi Sao until the end of the 2019 NRL season and secured Canberra fullback-wing Zac Santo for the rest of this season and next on a second-tier contract.
Sao (24) returned home last season after a three-year stint with Manly which netted 21 NRL appearances from 2013-15.
Used in an interchange capacity in seven games so far this season, Sao had an injury-hampered campaign with the Vodafone Warriors in 2016 which included his first NRL appearance for the club against Canterbury-Bankstown in Wellington.
Santo (24) made his NRL debut with North Queensland in 2014 and has been used twice at first-grade level since joining the Raiders in 2016. A regular for Canberra’s feeder club the Mounties in the Intrust Super Premiership, he was named at fullback in the ISP team of the year last season.
"Ligi has been a great acquisition for us, bringing his experience from Manly and helping to give us depth among our middle forwards," said Warriors recruitment and development manager Tony Iro.
"We've been following Zac for a while and we’re excited he has become available in mid-season to give us more options in our outside backs."
