Macgraff David E. Leuluai (born 9 February 1990) is a rugby league footballer who plays as a second-row or loose forward for the Widnes Vikings in the Betfred Championship.
Background
He was born in Wakefield, West Yorkshire, England.
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.
Playing career
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.
Leuluai joined Widnes in 2011 on a one-year contract. This was later extended to a Super League deal ending in 2013.[4]
