Liam Mitchell has signed with Zebre in Italy.
He was "sort of" offered a contract for the "fifth spot" at the Canes, but they wanted to wait for the NPC season. He wanted to have some security, however, and he decided not to wait and accepted the offer from Zebre. Quite understandable, I think, being behind Dom Bird, Isaia Walker-Leawere (I assume he's still or again signed with the Canes), Scott Scraften and the big man James Blackwell.
In the "What a Lad" podcast he openly expresses his frustration about lack of game time, although he got a few more minutes by the end of the season, but he has ambition and wants a starting spot somewhere.

@stargazer Unfortunately given Holland’s love child having a lock (pun intended) on one of the two locking spots he was only ever going to be a part time player which is a shame as I quite liked him though not flashy he did the graft.

He's nearly two metres tall, he's got no chance of playing lock for the Canes.
Is he any good?

dude if he's an almost 2m lock in NZ, if he was any good he would have a gig somewhere. We're not exactly swimming in them

@tim I guess that means it's his last year for the Magpies as well. :crying_face: Time for Kereru-Symes to step up and Tyrone Thompson to come home, next year! :crossed_fingers_medium_skin_tone:
@stargazer Hopefully can come back for NPC if playing in Japan?

He has signed a two-year deal in Japan.

There's a man that deserves some extra cash for his services to NZ rugby

I think he sadly developed a little too late to gain an AB cap but he surely deserved one considering some of the dunces who play hooker who have received them.
