Jirah Momoisea

The 2020 season was Momoisea’s fourth year playing rugby league.

The forward joined the Knights in 2018 from Melbourne and has continued to impress in his development.

At 21, the New Zealand product has a great worth ethic and was rewarded for his Canterbury Cup form with a development contract for the 2019 season.

He was upgraded to the NRL Top 30 in 2020 and is bashing the door down for a debut in 2021.
