Background

He was born in Wakefield, West Yorkshire, England.

His father, James, and his brother, Thomas, have both represented New Zealand and he is part of a wider Leuluai family that includes Phillip and Kyle.

Playing career

Born in Wakefield while his father was playing for Wakefield Trinity, Leuluai was a Newcastle Knights junior before joining Leigh Centurions as an 18-year-old in 2009.[3] As he was born in Wakefield, Leuluai does not require a work permit to play in England and does not count on the overseas quota.

Leuluai joined Widnes in 2011 on a one-year contract. This was later extended to a Super League deal ending in 2013.[4]

On 19 August 2020 it was announced that Leuluai would leave Widnes at the end of the 2020 season[5]
