The immediate playing future of Kiwi rugby league winger Will Warbrick is up in the air
s7.nzcity.co.nzHere’s the latest on Will Warbrick based on recent reporting:
-
As of early to mid-2025, Will Warbrick was sidelined with concussion symptoms after an Indigenous vs Maori All-Stars game, with updates describing the situation as “complicated” and no firm return date (concussion recovery updates from Melbourne Storm staff ). He was undergoing individual training and was expected to rejoin the Storm via feeder club pathways once medically cleared. These reports indicated gradual progress through 2025, with cautious optimism from the club’s medical and coaching staff.[1][2]
-
In March 2026, reports confirmed Warbrick would move to the Warriors on a three-year deal from the next season, marking a return to New Zealand rugby league after his stint with Melbourne Storm (contract announcement and commentary from Warriors’ side ). This signing followed his earlier NRL performance, including 60 appearances and a notable try-scoring record for the Storm.[3]
-
For context on ongoing play history, Warbrick’s profile and recent coverage through 2025–2026 show continued anticipation around his return to high-level competition, with media outlets tracking his injury status, contract changes, and performance milestones (NRL.com profiles, Zero Tackle updates).[4][8]
