Early and provincial career

edit

Upon leaving school, Lolohea entered into the New Zealand Warriors rugby league junior side where he stayed until 2014 when he signed for Tasman as well as Super Rugby giants, the Crusaders. Unfortunately, injury ended his season before it had begun and he had to start his climb to the top once more. After a season of playing club rugby in the Nelson Bays area, Lolohea made the Tasman Makos squad for the 2015 ITM Cup. He made 8 appearances and scored 3 tries in the competition.[1][2]

Super Rugby career

edit

Lolohea was selected as a member of the first ever Sunwolves squad ahead of the 2016 Super Rugby season and played in 4 matches during their debut campaign[1][2]
