LOUIS Anderson is to join brother Vinnie at Warrington Wolves on a two-year contract from 2008.

Speculation had linked Louis with a move to Wolves in November and his current club, New Zealand Warriors, have now confirmed that the highly rated forward will leave them and switch to Super League at the end of his contract, which has less than 12 months to run.

The 21-year-old, who can play as a second rower, loose forward or hooker, already has 13 caps for the New Zealand international team and, like older brother Vinnie, will not count on the overseas quota under the Kolpak ruling.

Louis has played alongside Vinnie, who has joined Wolves this year on a three-year deal, for the Warriors and the Kiwis and is looking forward to linking up again with his sibling.

The 6ft 1in forward has even played at The Halliwell Jones Stadium before, turning out for New Zealand against England in November 2005.

Louis has scored five tries in 57 NRL games for the Warriors and made both his first grade and international debuts in 2004.

Wolves have been able to tie up the Louis deal almost 12 months before his arrival because of the scrapping of the NRL's anti-tampering deadline and the confirmation of his signature means Wolves' 2008 squad is already starting to take shape, with legendary Australian half back Andrew Johns also considering a return to the club in 12 months' time.
