Career
Li made his senior debut for North Harbour during the 2013 ITM Cup while aged just 18 years old and still attending Massey High School. However, one try in four appearances was enough to convince the Blues to include him in their wider training group for the 2014 Super Rugby season. Some impressive outings in pre-season saw him named on the bench for the Blues opening game away to the Highlanders. He made his Super Rugby debut as a second-half substitute in a 21-29 loss for his side.[5] In the 2015 World Rugby Under 20 Championship, Li scored a hat-trick against France becoming the highest try-scorer in tournament history.On June 29, 2016 li Signed a 1-year deal with current super Rugby champions The Highlanders
