“I’m Coming Back” – Joseph Manu Announces Return to Rugby League
Former Sydney Roosters star Joseph Manu has made headlines with the announcement that he has terminated his contract with Japanese rugby union side Toyota Verblitz. The 28-year-old New Zealand international confirmed that he will return to the NRL, where he made his name as one of the league’s most dynamic and versatile players.
Manu’s decision to step away from his rugby union stint has taken many by surprise. He signed with Toyota Verblitz earlier this year, hoping to broaden his horizons after a stellar career in rugby league. However, Manu has expressed a deep longing for the game that first made him a household name, stating, “I’m coming back. Rugby league is in my blood, and I feel I still have a lot to offer.”
The centre, who played an instrumental role in the Roosters’ success over the past several seasons, is known for his elusive running, strong defensive ability, and incredible playmaking skills. Having made 12 appearances for the New Zealand national rugby league team, Manu’s return to the NRL is expected to send shockwaves through the competition.
Sources close to the player suggest that the decision to return was fueled by a strong desire to rejoin his former teammates at the Roosters, where he feels he can continue to achieve new heights in his career. The move also opens up the possibility of representing New Zealand once more on the international stage.
Manu’s return will undoubtedly bolster the Roosters’ already formidable roster as they aim for another NRL title in the upcoming season. Fans will be eagerly awaiting his first match back in the league, as the talented playmaker re-enters the spotlight.
