Leon Fukofuka (born 8 September 1994) is a New Zealand rugby union player who currently plays as a halfback for Auckland in the ITM Cup.[1][2][3]
Career
The son of former Auckland player Kalau Fukofuka, Leon worked his way through the youth ranks and to the senior Auckland side via the Auckland sevens team. He made his ITM Cup debut during the 2014 season and made a total of 7 appearances in the competition, although only 3 were starts as he largely played backup to the more experienced Junior Poluleuligaga.[2] Despite his relative lack of experience, an injury to All Blacks halfback Tawera Kerr-Barlow paved the way for Fukofuka to be named in the Chiefs wider training group for the 2015 Super Rugby season.[4][5]
International Career
Fukofuka represented New Zealand Under 20 at the 2014 IRB Junior World Championship in his home country.[6][7]
