The Fijian Drua have officially farewelled stalwart first five-eighth and former Te Awamutu Sports representative Teti Tela, who is retiring from first class rugby.
Fijian Drua #30 Tela, the Drua’s all-time leading points scorer with 124 points from 24 appearances, was a vital member of the franchise in their first two seasons.
“Teti is an outstanding player and an even better friend. Everyone in the Drua organisation – players, coaches, and administration staff – admires his professionalism,” Fijian Drua chief executive Mark Evans said.
Evans thanked 32-year-old Tela for his contribution to the Drua and Fiji Rugby.
“For a young club like ours, the positive impact that Teti has had on his fellow Drua players and colleagues is profound. While we will miss having him in our squad, we know that he and his beautiful young family will be watching and cheering their Drua on in 2024 and beyond. All of us offer our sincerest and heartfelt vinaka vakalevu to Teti for his service.”
