Widnes Vikings

European club signs Albert

The 23-year-old joins the Vikings in the 2018 Betfred Super League season alongside fellow PNG Kumul, Kato Ottio.

Albert is known for his pace, power and physicality – standing at 194 centimetres tall and weighing at about 114 kilograms.

He joins the 35-man squad already named for the Betfred Super League season in the United Kingdom.

His move to the Vikings is subject to visa approval.

Head coach of Widnes Vikings, Denis Betts, said the Vikings are looking forward to welcoming Albert to the pre-season training at the earliest opportunity.
