Mikaele Ravalawa commits future to St George Illawarra

“I’m super excited to go around with the Dragons again and spend further time with the boys here. I have built great relationships at the club, which can be tough to do sometimes being from Fiji.

“I know I am still improving as a player too. Last weekend I made a few errors under the high ball but I know I can be better. I’ll be doing my best to make the team happy every time I play.”

Dragons director of rugby league pathways and list management, Ian Millward, said: “We are rapt that Mika and his partner have shown faith in the Dragons as there was plenty of competition looking to secure his services.

“Mika is very powerful and very strong, and someone who has made great in-roads in his training, performances and the way he’s earned the respect of the playing squad and our staff.

“When we first signed him we knew we wanted him to be a long-term Dragon. As he continues to evolve as a player we’re confident Mika will be one of the better Fijian players to have played numerous seasons in the NRL.”
