A skilful and athletic winger who can cover both Centre and Fullback. Karawalevu has represented Fiji at both Rugby League and Union. He is in his first season with Castres in the Top 14.
Latest Updates
Vuate Karawalevu made his Top 14 debut and club debut for Castres in round 8 against ASM Clermont.
Despite being on the receiving end of a big scoreline and not seeing much of the ball, it was a solid first appearance for the former Drua Fullback. He made a linebreak when he ran up in support of a Vilimoni Botitu offload which directly led to a try.
Although publicly known for a couple months now, Castres have officially announced the signing of former Drua outside back Vuate Karawalevu for 2 years.
“In the backs, the new arrivals are Vuate Karawalevu (24 years old) and Adam Vargas (24 years old). The former is a Fijian international (7 caps) who played rugby league before wearing the colors of the Fijian Drua in Super Rugby. The latter scored a whopping 22 tries with Valence-Romans in Pro D2. Trained in Lyon, he is signed until 2027, just like Karawalevu.” – Quote from rugbyrama report
