Former Leeds Rhinos forward Ava Seumanufagai secures NRL return with Canterbury Bulldogs

Ex-Leeds Rhinos front-rower Ava Seumanufagai is back in the NRL with Canterbury Bulldogs.

Seumanufagai had been at Bulldogs on a 'train and trial' contract, but has now been added to their top-30 squad.

The 29-year-old New Zealander joined Rhinos from Cronulla Sharks in May, 2019.

He scored four tries in 32 appearances and was a Challenge Cup winner last year before being released from the final year of his contract, three months ago, for personal reasons.

Seumanufagai played for Bulldogs in a pre-season trial match against Cronulla and has featured in the opening three games of feeder club Mounties' New South Wales Cup campaign.
