“We’re thrilled to get Tanah across to the club. He’s a quality, proven player who will add
great depth to our squad,” said Warriors general manager recruitment, pathways and development Andrew McFadden.
A former Queensland under-20 representative, Boyd joins incumbent halfbacks Te Maire
Martin, Luke Metcalf and Chanel Harris-Tavita.
“Tanah’s arrival will create healthy competition among our halves,” said Warriors head coach Andrew Webster.
“He brings a great kicking game, strong game management skills and he’s also a proven
goal kicker. We’re really looking forward to having him at our club.”
Predominantly used at halfback by the Titans, Boyd has also made a number of appearances
in the No 6 jersey.
“There’s so much to like about the direction of the club, from Webby to the fans and the
support the team gets here (in New Zealand),” said Boyd.
“There’s been plenty of players who have come this way (Australia to New Zealand) in the
past and in recent times who have proven that if you buy in you can make an impact and
that’s certainly what I plan on doing.”
Boyd played alongside veteran Kiwi and former Warrior Kieran Foran over the last two years
while he will have a familiar face at the Warriors in 2024 Kiwi squad member Erin Clark, who is
returning to his original NRL club. Boyd and Clark have been Gold Coast teammates since 2020.
Boyd’s father Shayne Boyd was a prop, playing a total of 10 first-grade matches (nine for Penrith (in 1991-1992) and one for Balmain (1993).
In Kiwis halfback Shaun Johnson's final season, the Warriors went 9-1-14, finishing 13th and missing the playoffs.
