Playing career

Early career

After playing lower grades with the South Sydney Rabbitohs in 2011 and Parramatta Eels in 2012,[6] Fonua-Blake joined the St. George Illawarra Dragons in 2013. In 2013 and 2014, he played for the Dragons' NYC team.[7] In 2014, he co-captained the side.[8][9] On 2 September 2014, he was named on the interchange bench in the 2014 NYC Team of the Year.[10] On 18 October 2014, he played for the Junior Kiwis against the Junior Kangaroos,[2] before re-signing with the Dragons on a contract to the end of 2016.[11] On 19 January 2015, he was stood down by the Dragons due to disciplinary reasons, before having his contract terminated on 30 June 2015.[12][13] At the end of 2015, he was granted approval by the NRL to train with the Manly Warringah Sea Eagles from 1 November of the same year.[14]

2016

After playing in five Intrust Super Premiership NSW matches for the Sea Eagles, Fonua-Blake was cleared to be eligible to play in the NRL after satisfying the NRL Integrity Unit that he had completed a comprehensive off-field counselling and development program.[14] This allowed him to make his NRL debut for the Sea Eagles against the Parramatta Eels in Round 7 of the 2016 NRL season.[15][16]
