He is also a former Australian Schoolboy.
A Jersey Flegg utility back for the Wests Tigers, Kienan Power-Tempest, has left the club, deciding to move to a Queensland club.
Power-Tempest is confirmed to be joining the QLD Cup side, the Souths Logan Magpies, for the upcoming season after two seasons in the Wests Tigers development system.
A former Australian Schoolboy representative, the 21-year-old is a skilled quick flyer and has featured in the centres and on the wing for the Tigers partnering alongside NRL player Josh Feledy.

Farewell for Siro at Leichhardt
He’s one of rugby league’s biggest characters, not just in stature, but popularity too.
On Friday the big fella we know as ‘Siro’ who played 248 games for his beloved Balmain Tigers was given a heartfelt send-off at Leichhardt Oval.
Sironen called time on his role as Wests Tigers Pathways Manager (Balmain) last month in readiness for life’s next chapter, a sea change if you like, on the NSW North Coast.
And just as Siro wanted, no fanfare, no fancy cocktails, just a few cold beers at Leichhardt on a Friday afternoon.
“This is really nice, and I couldn’t think of a better way to say farewell,” Sironen said.
“The club asked me what I might like as a farewell gift, and this is exactly what I wanted.
“It’s been a huge part of my family’s life and who I am as a person but it’s time for a change.
“We’re relocating to the NSW North Coast and very much looking forward to the next phase in life.
“I’ll get to as many games as I can and obviously the Tigers will always be a part of who I am.”
Around one hundred of Siro’s mates, former teammates, and colleagues gathered in the Chairman’s Lounge at Leichhardt, trading yarns and reminiscing.
Players past and present were in attendance, including the 2024 NRL squad and one of his ‘besties’, Steve Blocker Roach.
