The Queensland Reds have signed Fijian winger Eto Nabuli from NRL side St. George Illawarra Dragons for two years.
The 27‑year‑old grew up playing the 15‑man code in Nadroga but has played Rugby League in Australia for the past three years – playing 13 games for the Dragons this year
Nabuli is an imposing figure standing at 1.97m and weighing 108kg.
In 2013 he was named in the New South Wales Cup Team of the Year after scoring 29 tries in his first season.
In 2014 he made his international Rugby League debut for Fiji and starred for the Panthers in their 2014 NSW Cup Grand Final win over Newcastle.
He then signed a one‑year contract with the Dragons to play in the NRL in 2015 – scoring seven tries in 13 games.
Nabuli starred in the Dragons narrow 11‑10 elimination final loss to the Bulldogs last Saturday night, crossing for the Dragon’s only try.
Nabuli says he is looking forward to returning to Rugby and is challenging himself to make his Super Rugby debut for the Reds.
