Wests Tigers have received a major boost just weeks out from the start of the 2025 NRLW season.

Powerhouse forward Sarah Togatuki has re-signed with the club on a new three-year deal.

A foundation player for the club and proudly holding NRLW player number #8, “Sala’’ has been a standout since day one, earning Wests Tigers NRLW player of the year in both 2023 and 2024.

Her leadership, consistency, and ferocity in the middle have made her a cornerstone of the team.

Now heading into her third pre-season with the club, the 27-year-old is excited to continue her journey in the orange, black, and white.

“I’m grateful to re-sign with a club that’s backed me through it all,” says Togatuki.

“Thank you to Wests Tigers for believing in what I bring and for giving me the chance to keep building here.
“I’ll keep showing up, growing, and giving my best.’’

A seasoned representative for NSW, the Jillaroos, and Fetu Samoa, Togatuki is widely regarded as one of the elite middle forwards in the women’s game.

She’s been part of every NRLW season since its inception, earning the Karyn Murphy Medal in 2021 for her match-winning performance in the Grand Final with the Tricolours.

After a wonderful debut season with Wests Tigers in 2023, Togatuki was named NRLW Dally M Prop of the Year, cementing her place among the women’s game’s elite.

With the NRLW season set to kick off in July with an exciting Round 1 clash against the Broncos, fans can look forward to another huge year from one of the game’s toughest and most inspiring forwards.

Wests Tigers NRLW head coach Brett Kimmorley couldn’t be prouder to see Togatuki stay on.

“Sala is a true leader in our squad, both on and off the field,’’ he says.

“She’s one of the best in the business, and her experience is vital for the development of our young forwards. Having her re-commit to the club is a massive win for all of us.”
