SAMOAN powerhouse Alafoti Fa'osiliva has signed a one-year contract extension to keep him at Worcester Warriors.

Having made the move to Sixways in August 2016, Fa'osiliva has since become an integral part of the side.

The back rower has made 36 appearances for the club and director of rugby Alan Solomons described him as an "invaluable team member".

Fa'osiliva spent much of his early career on the international Sevens circuit where he was part of the Samoa side that won the IRB Sevens World Series in 2009/10.

The 32-year-old enjoyed a spell at Toulon before spending three years at Bath.

He has also been capped 23 times by Samoa and was part of his country’s 2015 Rugby World Cup squad.

“I’m really enjoying my time at Warriors and enjoying my rugby," Fa'osiliva said. 

"I’m very happy to sign a new deal and will continue to give everything on the pitch.”

Solomons added: “Foti is a dynamic, explosive player who is an invaluable team member.

"I’m delighted he’s decided to stay on with the club.”
