The Warriors have signed a try scoring machine for the next three years.
Gold Coast winger Alofiana Khan-Pereira, who boasts 53 tries in just 54 matches, will join the Warriors next season.
The 23-year-old speedster raced to the 50-try mark in just his 52nd career appearance this season, matching the record for the quickest half century in the NRL era set by Parramatta winger Semi Radradra early in 2016.
Making his debut in round one in 2023, he scored 20 tries in 23 matches that season and was the NRL's top try scorer in 2024 with 24 in 21 games including a club record four in Gold Coast's biggest win in history against the One New Zealand Warriors.
"Lofi is one of the quickest players in the game and has proven try-scoring ability in the short time he has played in the NRL," said Warriors general manager recruitment, pathways and development Andrew McFadden.
In his 10 outings this season he averaged 137 metres a game, made 21 tackle breaks and 11 line breaks with two try assists.
"We saw first-hand how damaging he is as a finisher when the Titans beat us in Robina last year. We love what he'll bring to our club with both his ability and his character," said coach Andrew Webster.
Khan-Pereira said reconnecting with former Titans teammates at the Warriors was another positive in his move.
"I definitely feel more comfortable knowing that I have a couple of GC lads over there in Nudge (Tanah Boyd), Taine (Tuaupiki) and Erin (Clark). It makes my move to a whole new country much easier," he said.
Khan-Pereira also has a New Zealand connection through his Kiwi-born father who is of Māori and Sāmoan heritage while his mother is of Indigenous Australian and Pakistani descent.
