Siteni Taukamo (born 2004) is a Greece international rugby league footballer who plays as a winger or fullback for the Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks in the NRL.

Background

Taukamo is of Greek, Tongan and New Zealand descent.

He played his junior rugby league for the Gymea Gorillas before being signed by the Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks. He is the younger brother of fellow Greek international, Tyrone Taukamo.

Playing career

Taukamo captained the Sharks' Harold Matthews Cup squad during the 2020 and 2021 seasons. On 18 July 2020, Taukamo signed a four-year contract with the club until the end of 2024, transitioning into the first grade squad in 2023.

2022

In 2022, Taukamo was named in the Greece squad for the 2021 Rugby League World Cup, the first ever Greek rugby league squad to compete in a World Cup. Taukamo was initially left out of Greece's 24-man squad due to uncertainty around his age. In Greece's opening match, Taukamo made history by scoring the country's first ever World Cup try. In Greece's final group stage match, Taukamo scored their only try during a record 94-4 loss against England at Bramall Lane in Sheffield.

2023

Taukamo will be a part of the Sharks' top 30 squad for the 2023 NRL season.
