The New Zealand Warriors have handed Morgan Harper a career lifeline, signing the versatile outside back for the remainder of the 2024 NRL season. The 25-year-old, who was recently released by the Melbourne Storm, will bolster the Warriors’ depth in the backline as they aim to strengthen their squad for a finals push.
Harper, a talented centre who can also cover the wing, brings NRL experience from his previous stints with the Manly Sea Eagles and the Canterbury Bulldogs. He played 56 games for Manly between 2020 and 2023 before moving to the Storm, where he struggled to cement a first-grade spot. Now, with a fresh opportunity in Auckland, Harper will be eager to prove his value in Andrew Webster’s squad.
