Deal Done: Fiji Rugby Star Secures Multi-Million Dollar Extension, Roosters Avoid Free Exit!
In a blockbuster move, the Fiji Rugby Union has announced that star center Waisea Nayacalevu has signed a multi-million dollar contract extension with the Roosters. This deal puts an end to speculation of a free exit, with rival clubs circling the powerful playmaker. Nayacalevu, a key figure in the Roosters’ lineup, has been instrumental in their success on the international stage.
The Roosters’ management, led by Coach Simon Raiwalui and captain Levani Botia, acted swiftly to secure Nayacalevu’s services for the foreseeable future. “We knew we couldn’t afford to lose a player of Waisea’s caliber. His leadership on and off the field is irreplaceable,” said Raiwalui during the official announcement.
Fans are rejoicing at the news, especially with other big names like Semi Radradra and Frank Lomani also set to stay as the Roosters prepare for a busy season ahead. This extension ensures that Fiji Rugby retains its core strength and depth, positioning the team for further glory in upcoming tournaments.
The deal, reportedly worth several million dollars, marks one of the biggest contracts in Fiji Rugby’s history. Nayacalevu’s extension not only solidifies his future with the Roosters but also sets a precedent for retaining homegrown talent. With his ability to break the line and create scoring opportunities, the star center has become a pivotal figure for the team, contributing to their recent successes in the Pacific Nations Cup and other international tournaments.
With Nayacalevu’s contract secured, Coach Raiwalui can now focus on building a team around his key players. The likes of Viliame Mata and Josua Tuisova are also expected to be central to the Roosters’ future plans. As the team sets its sights on the Rugby World Cup and other major competitions, the long-term commitment from Nayacalevu sends a clear message: Fiji is serious about maintaining its place among the rugby elite.
