The New England Free Jacks have added Fijian Drua prop Jone Koroiduadua to their roster. The 25-year-old, hailing from Nalebaleba, Nadroga, has played with the Drua since the 2022 season following a two-year tenure with the French Top 14 club, Clermont.
In an official statement, the Free Jacks expressed confidence that Koroiduadua will strengthen their front row as they strive to build upon their recent achievements and maintain their performance in Major League Rugby (MLR).
Described as one of Fiji’s most promising young talents, Koroiduadua is expected to bring significant power and intensity to the Free Jacks’ pack. He already has a notable rugby background, having participated in over 20 matches for the Fijian Drua across three seasons of Super Rugby Pacific, along with earning international caps for the Flying Fijians, including a selection for the 2023 Rugby World Cup.
Weighing in at 255 pounds, Koroiduadua is known for his strength and effectiveness in physical confrontations, whether carrying the ball or in defensive situations, making him a vital addition to the Free Jacks’ forward group.
