A Kiama Knights and Collegians Wollongong product, Paseka earns a promotion into the club’s Top 24 this season having scored three tries from four outings a year ago.
Paseka made her NRLW debut in the side’s Round 5 local derby clash in 2024 just several months on from scoring a try in the Steelers’ Tarsha Gale Cup Grand Final win.
A junior representative standout, Paseka also managed tries in NSW’s Under 19s State of Origin victories in both 2024 and 2025.
The 20-year-old was rewarded with an international call-up for Fiji in their IRL World Series campaign in Ottawa late last year scoring a hat-trick on debut against Canada.
