Lolohea previously played for the New Zealand Warriors and the Wests Tigers in the National Rugby League (NRL).

A Marist Saints junior, Lolohea is of Tongan descent and signed with the New Zealand Warriors in 2013, playing in all 28 matches in the Holden Cup.

[6] Lolohea made his first grade debut in round 20 against the Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles, playing off the interchange bench in the Warriors 22-12 loss at Mt Smart Stadium after halfback Shaun Johnson was ruled out with injury.

[12][13] In round 18, against the Melbourne Storm, Lolohea scored one of the best tries of the 2015 season when he finished a sensational team effort; Nathan Friend was upended and displayed his best acrobatic moves when he chased a Chad Townsend bomb kick and delivered a stunning back flip pass to Sam Tomkins, the ball passed between further Warriors before Lolohea scored in the corner.

Many people were questioning the inexperience of the halves pairing but it was revealed by Stephen Kearney that the two had been training together in secret during the NRL finals to become better adapted to the situation.

"[28] He made his club debut in round 13, and remained at five-eighth for the rest of the season, also taking over goal-kicking duties.

Returning to the Tongan rugby league team, Mate Ma'a Tonga, for the World Cup, Lolohea played in every game of the tournament at five-eighth.

Considered to have played a major part in the team's success in the series, Lolohea was gifted land in Tonga as a reward.
