The PNG international will join Bradford Bulls at the end of the season but has written the following message;
“First of all, I would like to thank God for giving me the talent for his protection and guidance over the years.
“It was a great honour and privilege to be part of this great club. I would also like to thank coach Mike for trusting in me and offering me a contract to join the club and also people who were part of making my contract come through, especially Wellington Albert and his family.
“Secondly, I want to thank the players, we've been together in high and lows, in good and tough times, but we have stuck together as one. The moments we shared together will always be cherished.
“To our fans and supporters from Papua New Guinea and here in the UK, you guys are phenomenal. You never give up on us regardless of the result. You showed us how much you loved us week in week out and the heart you have for the game and the club.
“Finally, I want to thank my family, especially my partner. She is always there for me, giving me enough support, confidence and courage. I’m very happy to have such a wonderful partner. Also, thank you to my mum and dad and the siblings for your tireless support in prayers and words. I love you all.
