Biography

Born in 1993, Seci developed his game in Fiji's passionate rugby heartlands before taking his talents overseas. Primarily a winger or centre, his game is built on strength, pace, and the classic Fijian ability to break tackles and find the try line. While his club career has seen him move between teams in the Australian Queensland Cup and the British lower tiers, his consistent performances have kept him in contention for the Fijian national side, the Bati. In the famous Fijian jersey, he contributes to a team renowned for its unpredictable and entertaining style, representing a key strand in the global tapestry of the sport.
