Youth Career

He took his first steps in his senior career with his local provincial side, the Counties Manukau Steelers, for whom he made 10 appearances in 2015 before moving south to join the Taranaki Bulls in 2016. 3 tries in 10 appearances in a season which saw the Bulls reach the Premiership semi-finals before going down to Tasman represented a good first season for Taranaki.[4]
