Denny Solomona (born 27 September 1993) is a New Zealand rugby league player for the Castleford Tigers in the Super League. His position is wing, but can also play at fullback and centre. He previously played with London Broncos and the Melbourne Storm under 20s.
Solomona spent his childhood in Auckland and was educated at St Peter's College where he was a member of the school's Rugby Union First XV and won the Boris Shroj Cup in 2010 as the top try scorer.[2]
Career
In 2012, Solomona became a member of the Melbourne Storm Rugby League franchise being recruited out of Melbourne’s youth system. He only played 13 games during the 2012 National Youth Competition season, with a fractured fibula in Round 13. Nevertheless, the 19-year-old scored eight tries from those 13 games. Solomona joined the Melbourne Storm’s senior squad in 2013.[3]
Solomona signed for Super League side London Broncos in January 2014 after being released from his contract with Melbourne Storm.[4] Following the club's relegation, it was announced that he would join Castleford Tigers at the end of the season.[5]
Denny has turned into a big fans favourite with the Castleford fans due to quality of tries he has scored.
