Fijian flyer Kevin Naiqama has signed a two-year contract extension with the Wests Tigers.

The NRL club announced on Thursday that the 26-year-old wing three-quarter, who has played all six games this season after making the move from Penrith, will stay on until the end of 2017.

Naiqama had originally joined the Tigers on a one-year deal.

"I'm really excited to secure a deal with Wests Tigers long-term," Naiqama said.

"I'm stoked to get contract negotiations out of the way early."

Naiqama is excited leading into his first game at Leichhardt Oval in Wests Tigers' colours this Sunday against Canberra.

"The boys have been talking about how special Leichhardt Oval is," he said.

"I'm looking forward to seeing our fans turn up and fill that hill."

Naiqama has scored 18 tries in 29 NRL games since making his debut for Newcastle in 2010.
