Four Mokani Rugby Club players participating in the Tailevu Provincial Rugby Club competition have secured contracts in Romania.

The four players are 27-year-old Keresoni Tiko Delaivuna, 26-year-old Waisake Tavaga Raqili, 24-year-old Mosese Lomani Kailoma and 19-year-old Eseria Baivi Komainaisoro.

The four players will join former Tailevu Rugby Union and Mokani Rugby Club captain Eseria Baivi Vueti.

Mokani Rugby Club Advisor, Seremaia Vueti Snr, says the Club's pathway will definitely build up new doors of opportunity for local players at a younger age, and at the same time, develop their grassroots rugby club.

Vueti Snr says they have trained their players to be physically, mentally and spiritually fit.

He says the onus is on these young players because overseas contracts are now on their doorstep, and they will have to market the Mokani Rugby Club so more of their young brothers can follow in their footsteps.

While speaking to the players, Vueti Snr encouraged them to put God first in everything they do and strive for their very best.

He also told them to think of their parents back at home, to think of their family and their children that will motivate them every day.

He says players should maintain their discipline, fitness, nutrition, and health and look after one another.

The four players left this morning.
