Footy star Tohu Harris leaves his team shellshocked with brutal announcement about his future after surgery drama New Zealand Warriors skipper Tohu Harris has stunned the footy world by announcing his sudden retirement.
The 33-year-old veteran of 234 NRL games was thought to be on track to retain the captaincy after missing a large chunk of last season due to a wrist injury, but he has told the club he cannot carry on after surgery on the joint was unsuccessful.
'I had high hopes of returning from the injury this year but I'm devastated I won't get the chance to pull on the injury again,' he said in a statement released by the club on Thursday morning.
