Former rugby league player Manu Vatuvei can now be named as the sportsman facing a string of methamphetamine charges.

The Warriors icon is charged with possessing methamphetamine for supply and importing the Class A drug.

He has denied the charges, which were laid in December 2019.

Just days before suppression was due to lapse, Vatuvei took to Instagram to tell his followers about the charges in a video.

Manu was a real estate agent for LJ Hooker in Auckland
