Ma'afu Fia (born 22 November 1989) is a Tongan rugby union prop who plays rugby for Ospreys in the Pro14. On 17 September 2016, he scored his first Ospreys try against Treviso in round 3.

Early life

Fia was born in Tonga and moved to New Zealand in 2001. He went to school with Aaron Cruden, Andre Taylor and Kurt Baker.[1]

Playing career

Provincial Rugby

Fia had a stellar year in 2009 as he broke into the Manawatu provincial squad for the Air New Zealand Cup competition and helped New Zealand to the IRB World Under-20 title. As a result, he was named Manawatu's Outstanding Junior Sportsperson for 2009.[2]

In the 2010 ITM Cup, Fia established himself as a starter at prop for Manawatu, and scored his first provincial try. In the 2011 ITM Cup, he was a key part of a vastly improved Turbos squad, and his consistently strong performances earned him a Super Rugby contract for 2012.

Super Rugby

Fia signed with the Highlanders for the 2012 Super Rugby season.

Pro 12

On 5 October 2015, Fia signed a 3-year contract with the Ospreys.
