The new deal will see Matulino join Wests Tigers until at least the end of the 2020 NRL season.

Matulino has played 196 games for the New Zealand Warriors since making his debut in 2008 and has represented his county on 23 occasions.

The 28-year-old front rower will join Wests Tigers at the end of the current season.

Tigers coach Ivan Cleary said he was looking forward to welcoming Matulino to the club.

“Ben has proven himself as an elite front rower in both the NRL and International arena,” Cleary said. “We welcome Ben as an integral part of Wests Tigers’ future.”
