Albert Hopoate departs Canberra Raiders, joining Warrington Wolves on a two-year deal post-injury.
Departing Canberra Raiders outside back Albert Hopoate has confirmed he will join the Warrington Wolves in the English Super League.
The back, who has struggled with injuries throughout his career and can play at either fullback, wing or centre, suffered yet another ACL injury this year to end his 2025 campaign.
Hopoate had, before his injury, been relegated to the NSW Cup, losing his starting spot from the season before to Savelio Tamale who had a breakout rookie year after making an off-season switch south from the St George Illawarra Dragons.
Hopoate, who has signed a two-year deal with Warrington, will now play under head coach Sam Burgess in both 2026 and 2027 and said in a statement that he believes his best footy is still ahead of him.
