and another huge man in the form of Atu Moli
Western Force signs former All-Blacks prop Atu Moli
The Western Force’s squad for the 2024 Harvey Norman Super Rugby Pacific season continues to take shape with the announcement of the signing of former All-Blacks prop Atu Moli.
The 28-year-old has five caps for New Zealand including playing at the 2019 Rugby World Cup where the All-Blacks finished third.
Moli can play tighthead and loosehead prop, offering versatility to the Force scrum line-up. He will relocate to Perth later this year having been with the Chiefs since 2016, where he made 53 Super Rugby appearances and scored three tries.
The former All-Black also captained his country at Under-20 level, leading the side to the 2015 World Rugby Under-20 Championship title.
Moli’s signing follows the contract extension of fellow prop Santiago Medrano, along with the addition of off-season recruits Lopefi Taifua, Harry Hoopert, Will Harris, Harry Potter, Ben Donaldson and Nic White for the 2024 season.
Force head coach Simon Cron was thrilled to add a player of Moli’s calibre and experience to his squad.
“One of the positions we needed to add squad depth was at tighthead prop,” Cron said.
