Sione Fifita (born 17 April 1990) is a Tongan rugby union player who currently plays as a wing for Counties Manukau in New Zealand's domestic Mitre 10 Cup.
[1][2][3][4] Somewhat of a late developer professionally, Tongan-born Fifita came to New Zealand in his teens and represented Counties Manukau at Under-20 level before having a sensational year playing for their B side in 2014 netting 14 tries in 6 games which unsurprisingly saw him named as their player of the year.
While working his way through the Steelers development structures, he also turned out for Pukekohe in Counties Manukau club rugby.
[5] He scored 2 tries in 9 appearances in a solid debut season at provincial level which saw the Steelers finish in 5th position on the ITM Cup Premiership log, just outside of the play off places.
He was again a regular in the Counties side in 2016, helping himself to 3 tries in 8 games as they reached the Mitre 10 Cup semi-finals before falling to eventual tournament winners, Canterbury.
