Ma’afu Fia was new member to the Highlanders squad in 2012, when he joined the vastly experienced ‘front row club’ of Chris King, Jamie Mackintosh, Jason Rutledge, Bronson Murray and Andrew Hore.
Fia played provincial rugby for Manawatu after making his debut in 2009. A robust prop forward, Fia is good with ball in hand, and adds real impact to the running forward game of the Highlanders.
Fia signed to play for Ospreys in 2015 making his debut against Zebre.
The 34 year old Tongan prop was forced into retirement due to injury and played for the Highlanders, Ospreys, Bath, Perpignan and Bourg-en-Bresse
