The Moana Pasifika have officially confirmed their squad for the 2025 Super Rugby season.
After one season with the Wests Tigers, winger Solomon Alaimalo returns to the 15-man code following 47 appearances for the Chiefs and headlines the club arrivals.
The roster also includes 2024 Forward of the Year Lotu Inisi and Moana Man of the Year Sione Havili Talitui.
Meanwhile, Wallabies forward Pone Fa'amausili has joined the team after playing for the now-defunct Melbourne Rebels.
“It's exciting, we've got a new group of players and a new group of staff coming on board in 2025 for Moana Pasifika," coach Fa'alogo Tana Umaga said.
"I think the caliber of all these people is going to lift Moana Pasifika from where we've been."
