Fiji-born rugby winger Filipo Daugunu has signed a two-year contract with the Melboure Rebels.

The 28-year-old has played eight games for the Wallabies since his debut in 2020, and is excited for a fresh start.

“Having played my entire professional career in Queensland, the time was right to experience something new and come to such a great city like Melbourne,” said Daugunu in a statement.

“Queensland have made me the player I am today and I will be forever grateful for that, but I am looking forward to this next chapter in my career and playing for the Melbourne Rebels.

“The Rebels have played an exciting brand of rugby this year and being able to add to that, and help build on what they’re already doing well, that’s exciting.”
