Wests Tigers land Luai on five-year deal

Wests Tigers is delighted to announce the signing of star five-eighth Jarome Luai on a five-year deal.

The three-time premiership-winning playmaker will join the club at the end of next season.

Luai has played 107 games for the Panthers over six seasons, making his NRL debut in 2018. 

The 26-year-old has helped Penrith to three consecutive grand final triumphs over the past three years, during which time he made seven State of Origin appearances for New South Wales.

Wests Tigers head coach Benji Marshall believes the addition of Luai will be great for the club.

“We are super excited to announce the signing of Jarome for the 2025 season on a five-year deal,” said Marshall.

“His experience as a genuine premiership-winning playmaker will be great for us and the future of our club.

“We love the way Jarome plays his footy and even better, he is a great person.

“We very much look forward to welcoming Jarome and his family to our club in 2025, but right now, season 2024 is our focus.”

Luai is excited about joining Wests Tigers but wants to focus on his final season at the Panthers.

Luai will make the move to Wests Tigers at the end of next season and reunite with a few of his former Panthers’ teammates Api Koroisau, Brent Naden, and Charlie Staines.
