The New Zealand Warriors have confirmed the acquisition of St George Illawarra prop Leeson Ah Mau on a three-year deal.

Ah Mau returns to the Warriors, after making his debut for the Kiwi club in 2009.

The 28-year-old spent two seasons with the Cowboys in 2010-11, and has been plying his trade for the last seven years at the Dragons.

โ€œLeeson will be a wonderful addition to our squad from next season,โ€ Warriors head coach Stephen Kearney told warriors.kiwi.

โ€œHeโ€™s a big forward who is consistently one of the Dragonsโ€™ best week in, week out. He fits the mould of the type of player weโ€™re building our squad around โ€“ tough, durable and with a tremendous attitude in all he does on and off the field.

โ€œWeโ€™ve always had an interest in him as did a number of clubs, so weโ€™re really excited he was keen to come back home and join the club he started with.โ€

Ah Mau represented Samoa at the two previous Rugby League World Cups, and made his Test debut for the Kiwis during the recent Denver Test against England.
