Exciting times for the Dragons! They’re about to welcome a new star to their roster: Terrell Peita from New Zealand. With Aaron Wainwright moving to Leicester Tigers next season, Peita is lined up to bring his skill and dynamism to Rodney Parade.
Peita, currently with Auckland Blues’ Super Rugby squad, is versatile across the back-row, making him a strong fit for the role Wainwright leaves behind. The 25-year-old has an impressive track record, having captained New Zealand Maori U18 and shone in Major League Rugby with the New England Free Jacks. His recent exploits with Northland, scoring five tries in 10 matches, earned him the title of Northland’s forward of the year. Exciting prospects, right?
Dragons head coach, Filo Tiatia, acknowledges the big shoes that need filling, stating there’s “only one Aaron Wainwright.” It’s a challenging task to bring someone in who can match Wainwright’s prowess, but Peita’s credentials suggest he might be just the man for the job.
Stay tuned for official announcements and get ready to cheer on Peita next season. Go Dragons! 🏉✨
