Storm enforcer Kamikamica forced into medical retirement after stroke
Tui Kamikamica's 142-game NRL career comes to an end after he received fresh medical advice following a stroke earlier in the year.
Rugby league star Tui Kamikamica has been forced into medical retirement following a stroke earlier this year. The 32-year-old had hoped to make a comeback for the Melbourne Storm this year and potentially represent Fiji at the 2022 World Cup. However, recent medical advice has prompted him to retire, marking the end of a 142-game NRL career with the Storm and Fiji.
Kamikamica expressed his gratitude to the club, teammates, coaches, and staff who supported him throughout his rugby league journey. Melbourne CEO Justin Rodski praised Kamikamica for his outstanding contributions, leadership, and commitment to the team and Fiji. Kamikamica's retirement comes at a challenging time for the Storm, who are still gathering medical opinions on the future of Eliesa Katoa, who suffered three head knocks within 90 minutes while representing Tonga last year.
