The talented New Zealander made the switch to the Gallagher Premiership from Australian Super Rugby side, ACT Brumbies ahead of the 2024/25 season.
Having made 31 appearances and scored five tries for Brumbies, the pacey centre was looking to test himself in a new league alongside new teammates.
Growing up in Kaitaia in north New Zealand, the talented youngster started his rugby journey at a young age before his senior career began in 2016 with National Provincial Championship side, Northland.
Following strong performances for Northland in over 60 appearances, his talent was recognised by Super Rugby side, Blues. They signed him to his first top-flight contract and gave him his debut in 2018 against the Crusaders in Christchurch.
Moving to the Brumbies top squad in 2023, he soon formed a deadly partnership with Len Ikitau in the backline. A lethal threat with pace, Tua will be looking to use his skills to compliment the competitive edge of Chiefs centres Henry Slade and Joe Hawkins.
