Katelyn Vaha'akolo is one of the most exciting finishers in New Zealand rugby, bringing pace, power and international experience to the Blues backline.
Equally dangerous on the wing or at fullback, Vaha'akolo has established herself as a proven attacking threat through standout performances in the Farah Palmer Cup and Super Rugby Aupiki.
Her ability to beat defenders one-on-one, finish opportunities in space and create momentum from anywhere on the field makes her a constant danger with ball in hand.
A Black Fern, Vaha'akolo has represented New Zealand on the international stage, earning recognition for her speed, aerial ability and composure under pressure. Her experience at the highest level, combined with her attacking instincts and strong defensive work rate, adds valuable leadership and quality to the Blues squad.
Returning for another season in blue, Vaha'akolo remains a key figure in the team's backline.
