Macgraff David E. Leuluai (born 9 February 1990) is a rugby league footballer who plays as a second-row or loose forward.

Background

[edit]

He was born in Wakefield, West Yorkshire, England.[citation needed]

His father, James, and his brother, Thomas, have both represented New Zealand and he is part of a wider Leuluai family that includes Phillip and Kyle.[citation needed]

Playing career

[edit]

Born in Wakefield while his father was playing for Wakefield Trinity, Leuluai was a Newcastle Knights junior before joining Leigh Centurions as an 18-year-old in 2009.[3] As he was born in Wakefield, Leuluai does not require a work permit to play in England and does not count on the overseas quota.[citation needed]

Leuluai joined Widnes in 2011 on a one-year contract. This was later extended to a Super League deal ending in 2013.[4]

On 19 August 2020 it was announced that Leuluai would leave Widnes at the end of the 2020 season[5]
