Former Fiji Bati captain Wes Naiqama

Former Fiji Bati captain Wes Naiqama has been formally appointed head coach of the Kaiviti Silktails rugby league club.

The 37-year-old former NRL star joined the coaching staff of the Ron Massey Cup newcomers earlier this year, after leaving his role with the Newcastle Knights to be a part of Fiji's first semi-professional rugby league team.

Naiqama takes over the reins from Fiji Bati head coach Brandon Costin, who led the team in their debut match and will now focus on his coaching and development roles with the Fiji NRL.

Kaiviti Silktails Chairman Petero Civoniceva says his former international teammate is a perfect fit for the role.

Civoniceva says Naiqama is someone that's revered in Fiji and their decision to take on Wes was one that they were looking towards the future.

The Silktails thrashed the Windsor Wolves 40-16 in their first competitive match back in March before the season was halted because of COVID-19.
