Naivalu re-signs with Rebels
The Melbourne Rebels have retained another star with key player Sefanaia Naivalu re-signing with the club until the end of 2019.
Naivalu, affectionately known as Super Sefa, has scored six tries in 19 appearances for the Rebels since his Super Rugby debut against the Crusaders in the opening round last year.
“Sefa has an exciting Rugby future ahead of him and is a critical part of the Rebels plans moving forward,” Melbourne Rebels Head Coach Tony McMahan said.
Melbourne Rebels General Manager Rugby Operations Baden Stephenson added: “we’re thrilled that Sefa has put his trust in the Rebels and the club’s coaching staff, led by Tony McGahan, to continue his Rugby career and happily call Melbourne home.”
The 24-year-old was recognised for his standout maiden season, in which he scored four tries in 13 games, when he was honoured with the Rugby Union Players’ Association Newcomer of the Year and Rebels Rookie of the Year awards.
