Born in Auckland, New Zealand, Tuitupou is a destructive inside centre with a reputation for huge hits.
Having captained New Zealand to underage titles at both under 19 and under 21 level, Tuitupou began his professional career at the Blues in Super Rugby. After five years in New Zealand, including representing the All Blacks, Tuitupou moved to England and took up a contract with Worcester Warriors in the English premiership.
A year at Munster in Ireland followed before joining Sale in 2011 where he has taken on the captaincy role on several occasions.
Former New Zealand centre Sam Tuitupou will leave the Premiership outfit to join National League One side Coventry, it has been announced.
Tuitupou, 35, has spent six years at the Sharks and made 110 appearances since moving from Worcester and is a major signing for Coventry.
