Olympic gold medalist Asaeli Tuivuaka will be joining the Zebre Rugby Club in Italy later this month.

He will be participating in two upcoming international tournaments; the United Rugby Championship and EPCR Challenge Cup.

Tuivuaka was part of the Fiji Men's 7s team that won gold in the Tokyo Olympic Games beating New Zealand 27-12 in the final.

Tuivuaka says after the Olympic Games in Japan, he received a couple of proposals, but this was the one that convinced him the most.

He adds his goal is to become one of the best Fijian players in Europe and he cannot wait to start this new experience.
