Sea Eagles sign hooker Nathaniel Roache

NRL hooker Nathaniel Roache has signed a train and replacement contract for 2023 with the Manly Warringah Sea Eagles.

Roache has played 27 first grade games since making his NRL debut for the Warriors in 2016.

The 26-year-old played 26 games over five seasons at the Warriors before joining the Parramatta Eels in 2021.

“Nathaniel is a quality hooker with great vision, skills and a fine running game,’’ said Manly CEO Tony Mestrov.

“He certainly brings valuable NRL experience to our squad.

“Nathaniel has had a tough run of injuries in recent seasons but he is a very resilient young man who still has plenty to offer.

“We welcome Nathaniel to the Sea Eagles.”
