Although he only started playing the game in the last year of high school, Vahaakolo was selected for the NZ Barbarians Schools side in 2015, where he roomed with Stephen Perofeta.
Vahaakolo has pace, power and agility, befitting someone with a background in athletics and dance.
In 2020, he was signed by Otago and after a breakout Mitre 10 Cup season, he signed for the Highlanders.
