Lalakai Foketi (born 22 December 1994) is an Australian rugby union player who currently plays as a centre for the Waratahs in Super Rugby.[1]
Career[]
Foketi first came to prominence in 2013 with some impressive displays while playing for the Manly Marlins colts side. As a result, he was named in the Melbourne Rebels extended playing squad for the 2014 Super Rugby season.[2]
He was not expected to feature much during his debut season, however a spate of injuries to Rebels backline players saw him earn a first Super Rugby cap against the Waratahs on 23 May 2014.[3]
