In 2004 he moved to England, playing for Workington Town. He spent two years in England and during this time trialled for the Super League club the Wigan Warriors.[1] However, because Sione will not play on Saturday due to religious beliefs he was not signed.[2] Sione won the 2004 overseas player of the year award.[3] Sione returned to New Zealand when his working visa expired in 2006.[4]
