Mosese Fotuaika played his junior football for Keebra Park before being signed by the Wests Tigers.
In 2012, Fotuaika played in the Tigers' 2012 NYC Grand Final win over the Canberra Raiders.
On 28 February 2013, Fotuaika was found dead by his girlfriend, Shanice Alaiasa at his home in Merrylands in Greater Western Sydney.
Police had been called to the home and they confirmed that they had found a man dead and his death was not being treated as suspicious.
Hours earlier he had been at the Wests Tigers club Concord gym and he injured himself while bench pressing with friends and it is believed that Fotuaika suffered a badly-torn pectoral muscle while exerting himself hours before taking his own life.
