Valingi was Initially signed on a development contract for the 2022 season with an upgrade to the full NRL squad for 2023 and 2024.
An Aorere College product, he appeared for the One New Zealand Warriors’ foundation SG Ball Cup (under-18 side) in 2020, before being based in Australia where he played in both Queensland’s colts and Intrust Super Cup competitions for feeder club Redcliffe.
Unfortunately Valingi has been ruled out for the 2023 season.
