Warriors outside back Marcelo Montoya has re-signed with the NRL club for two more years, through until the end of the 2025 season.

Montoya, 27, a former Fiji Bati international is set to bring up his 100th NRL game in Saturday's clash against defending champions Penrith in Brisbane.

While Montoya joined the Warriors in 2021, this is his first season based in New Zealand following the team's exile in Australia during Covid.

Montoya has appeared in each of the Warriors nine matches of the season so far.

Initially used on the wing he has moved into the centres in the past three games.

Sunday's 14-nil loss to the Roosters was his 45th game for the club after starting his career with 54 games for Canterbury Bankstown from 2017-2020.
