The 27-year-old vowed to remain committed to the team for the final three rounds and will officially retire at the conclusion of the Round 27 match.
As he aimed to stay focused on the remaining matches, Tevita will not be commenting on his decision to retire but thanked the Bulldogs and his fans for all the support.
The Bulldogs are supportive of his decision and thank him for his service to the Blue and White.
“We would like to thank Tevita for his contribution to the Club,” said Bulldogs General Manager of Football, Phil Gould.
“He has been a valuable member of the team and will remain to be so during these final few rounds.
“We are well aware of his talent as an athlete and are fully supportive of his decision to pursue another sport at the season’s end. We wish him and his family all the best for the future.
“Once a Bulldog, always a Bulldog.”
