Sinoti Sinoti (born 9 September 1985) is a New Zealand Rugby Union footballer. He currently plays for Newcastle Falcons in the Aviva Premiership and for the Samoa national rugby union team.

Club career

Prior to the start of the 2008–09 season Sinoti joined French club Toulon, to play in the same team as cousin Jerry Collins. Following a two-year spell in France, including a spell with Castres, he returned to New Zealand, and played for Hawkes' Bay in the National Provincial competition.

In September 2011 he signed a contract to play with Italian team Aironi.[2] Following the demise of Aironi due to financial problems, he joined up with the replacement Italian representatives in the Pro 12 league, Zebre. He left Zebre at the end of the 2012/13 season, and joined Wellington for the 2013 ITM Cup campaign.[3] On 24 December 2013, Sinoti signed for English side Newcastle Falcons in the Aviva Premiership for the 2013-14 season.[4]

In January 2018, he was awarded Try of the Week for his week-13 try against London Irish. [5]

International career

On 30 October 2010 Sinoti made his test debut for Samoa, against Japan.[6]
