The Sydney Roosters have today granted Xavier Va’a an immediate release from his playing contract to allow him to pursue an opportunity elsewhere.
A graduate of the Sydney Roosters Academy, Va’a made a memorable debut in Round 12 of the 2025 NRL season, scoring one of the fastest tries in NRL history just 49 seconds after taking to the field.
Roosters Head of Recruitment, Joel Carbone, thanked Va’a for his contribution and wished him well for the next chapter of his career.
“Xavier has been a great young man to work with and has handled himself with professionalism throughout his time at the Roosters,” said Carbone.
“We thank him for his efforts in Roosters colours and wish him all the very best for the next chapter of his career,” he added.
