David Fifita has signed a new one-year deal with the Wakefield Trinity.
The prop, 27, joined Wakefield back in June from NRL side Cronulla Sharks on a deal until the end of 2016 season with the option to sign up for a further year.
He has made 13 appearances for Trinity over the past five months, including the Ladbrokes Challenge Cup semi-final against Warrington Wolves. The Australian who has represented Tonga has scored two tries in his short spell at the club.
Speaking about his new deal, Fifita said: "I am really excited to get an extra year under my belt at Wakefield. It is a fantastic club with a great set of fans and I cannot wait to get back into preseason and get back out there on that field to repay all of their continued support."
Trinity head coach Chris Chester said: "I am delighted that David has agreed a new contract with us, especially as I know how much this means to the Wakefield supporters.
"He is an important member of the squad who adds a lot of passion into the side with his big personality both on and off the field. I know that he has got a lot more to show us this coming year and I am looking forward to working alongside him in 2017."
