MELBOURNE Storm today announced they have signed ex-Hawks rookie, Shem Tatupu.
Tatupu was released from his playing contract earlier this month after advising the club that his passion lay away from AFL.
The 20-year-old New Zealander was a highly regarded rugby league and union player growing up and left the Hawks to explore his opportunities in these sports.
GM - Football Operations said the club wished Tatupu all the best at Melbourne Storm.
“There is no doubt Shem is a talented athlete and all at Hawthorn Football Club wish him well for the future,” he said.
