FIJI Water Flying Fijians flyer Joji Nasova has just signed a two year deal with English Premier side Newcastle Red Bulls from next season.

Nasova has already touched down four tries in three tests for Fiji after transitioning from a hugely successful international sevens career.

He is yet to play his first game for the Swire Shipping Fijian Drua this season. 

The 25-year-old was a silver medalist at the Paris Olympics, Nasova was named in the 2025 HSBC SVNS Series Dream Team following a stellar campaign on the world circuit which saw him as the competition’s joint top scorer, with 26 tries.

Signed up to play Super Rugby with the Fijian Drua during the 2026 campaign, Nasova has already made his international 15s breakthrough, scoring on his debut against Canada and then twice more in his second cap as Fiji beat Japan in the Pacific Nations Cup final.

Newcastle Red Bulls’ sporting general manager Neil McIlroy is excited by the impact that the 6-foot-1 star can make on Tyneside.

McIlroy says Nasova is an electrifying runner who can really help spark their attack into life.

He adds that he is sure their supporters will enjoy the X-factor Nasova brings on the field, and they are really excited about the impact he can have.
