New Zealand’s Sonny Bill Williams agrees to join Toronto Wolfpack and is set to become the highest paid player in either of rugby's two codes - reports
New Zealand's Sonny Bill Williams celebrates with his daughter after the match New Zealand v Wales at Tokyo Stadium in Tokyo, Japan on November 1, 2019.
All Blacks centre Sonny Bill Williams is to become the highest-paid player in either of rugby's two codes after agreeing to join Canadian side Toronto Wolfpack on a two-year, $6.90 million deal, Australian media reported. The Wolfpack will play in England's top-tier Super League next year and are bankrolled by Australian mining tycoon David Argyle, who said in February they were interested in making Williams their marquee signing and had reached out to his agent.
It would mark the fourth code-switch in the career of the 34-year-old Williams, who has won the Rugby World Cup twice with the All Blacks as well as the 2004 National Rugby League Premiership with the Bulldogs."He's made his mind up to play for the Toronto Wolfpack," Weidler told the Nine News bulletin. "The deal is stunning — A$10 million for two years' work. Incredible money.
"We hold him in very high regard and when his playing career finishes, I'm not sure in what role, but I believe he has things to offer us here at New Zealand Rugby, absolutely."They were promoted to the Super League for the first time after beating Featherstone Rovers in the Championship playoff final last month and kick off their 2020 season against Castleford Tigers at Headingley Stadium in England on February 2.
