Recruitment news is sponsored by The Bed Shop Superstore Pontefract.

The 24-year-old Samoa international made 14 appearances in the 2024 NRL season for the Paramatta Eels. Asi has made 42 appearances in his NRL career after debuting in 2020. 

A utility back, Asi can operate in the Centre, Five Eighth and Halfback positions, something that will benefit the Tigers going forward in 2025. Asi has shown his versatility in the NRL and at international level after making appearances for North Queensland Cowboys, New Zealand Warriors, Paramatta Eels and Samoa.

We caught up with Danny Wilson who said: 

“Daejarn is a very exciting young player who has plenty of NRL experience already. He will certainly add quality to our team. We are very excited to welcome him, and we look forward to seeing him in action.”

The club cannot wait to welcome Daejarn as he heads over to the UK for Pre-Season!

Thank you to Banner Plant, Daejarn Asi’s sponsor for the 2025 season.
