Fijian International Joseva Tamani Signs Two-Year Deal with Highlanders

Fijian international Joseva Tamani is set to join the New Zealand Super Rugby Pacific team, the Highlanders, after signing a two-year contract. The deal will keep the versatile forward with the Dunedin-based franchise until the end of the 2028 season.

Tamani, who has represented Fiji at the Test level, has been a pivotal member of the Swire Shipping Fijian Drua since their inception into the Super Rugby Pacific competition. His ability to play both lock and loose forward positions makes him a valuable asset to any team.

During his time with the Drua, the 29-year-old established himself as one of the team's most dynamic players. His impressive ball-carrying ability, athleticism, and strong work rate around the field were consistently on display. This move marks a significant step in his career, following his previous stint in France with Colomiers.

Tamani's departure from the Drua comes after a successful period where he helped the team establish itself in the competitive Super Rugby Pacific league. His move to the Highlanders signifies a new chapter, bringing his talents to one of New Zealand's most historic rugby franchises.
