Manu Vatuvei.
Former Warriors rugby league star Manu Vatuvei is set to be released from prison later this month and will take up a role with the club as a mentor.
Kiwi great Vatuvei was sentenced to three years and seven months imprisonment last year for importing and supplying a class-A drug.
He appeared before the Parole Board yesterday and parole was granted, he will be released on the 31st of this month.
Warriors chief executive Cameron George says they acknowledge the 37-year-old had made some bad decisions and they don’t condone them, but his experiences could be learned from.
George says it’s a part-time voluntary role to help deliver programs to young players around careers and best choices.
