**I believe he's a fullback
The Sydney Roosters have secured the services of up-and-coming New Zealand Schoolboy Roger Tuivasa-Sheck.
With a number of NRL and rugby union clubs keen to sign him, the Roosters have signed Tuivasa-Sheck for the 2012 and 2013 seasons.
A standout player at the recent New Zealand Secondary Schools rugby league tournament, Tuivasa-Sheck, 18, captained Otahuhu College to victory.
A natural footballer, he also recently represented the New Zealand national schoolboy rugby union team against the Australian schoolboys.
Roosters recruitment manager, Peter O’Sullivan, believes that Tuivasa-Sheck has a big future in the NRL.
“It’s very exciting for the NRL and rugby league that Roger has decided to pursue a career in our game, as he has a great passion for rugby league.
“Roger possesses brilliant footwork and speed and with the interest in him from other NRL clubs and the Auckland Blues, this is a real coup for the Roosters.
“Off the field, Roger was school captain and comes from a strong family unit. He will be balancing his football commitments with study at Sydney University and we are all looking forward to watching him develop on and off the footy field over the next few years.”
Tuivasa-Sheck’s recruitment is in line with the Roosters policy of signing young players with whom the team can grow.
Tuivasa-Sheck will officially join the Roosters when the squad begins pre-season training next month.
