Pettowa Paraka (born 16 November 1993) is a Papua New Guinean-born Australian professional rugby union player for the Queensland Reds in the Super Rugby competition. He is mainly a loosehead prop, although he can play all three front row positions.[1]

Family and early life

Paraka's family are from the village of Baiyer in the Western Highlands of Papua New Guinea.[2] He was born in the provincial capital of Mount Hagen.[3] Paraka was introduced to rugby union when he moved to the Gold Coast in Australia for his secondary education at The Southport School as a boarding student until 2011. He was selected for the Australian Schoolboys rugby team in 2011.[2][4]

Rugby career

Paraka joined the Easts Tigers Rugby Union in 2012 and was a member of the club's Premier Rugby grand final winning team in 2013. He was selected for the Australia U20 team competed at the IRB Junior World Championship in South Africa in 2012.[3]

In 2013 he was invited into the Queensland Reds Wider Training Squad. Paraka played for Reds A in the 2014 Pacific Rugby Cup, starting in all four matches as the teams's loosehead prop, before joining Brisbane City in the inaugural National Rugby Championship. He scored two tries in the grand final match against Perth Spirit to secure Brisbane's championship win in 2014.[2]

After having been named on the bench twice for the Reds in 2014 without making it onto the field, Paraka made his Super Rugby debut in March 2015 for the Reds against the Brumbies in Brisbane.[5]
