About

Malachi Fa'avae-Eli is a homegrown Newcastle talent and one of the most exciting centres coming through the Knights pathways. A proud junior of the Valentine Devils, Malachi has earned his place among the region's top prospects through hard work, physicality and a hunger to improve every week.

Known for his explosive ball-running and powerful carries, Malachi is the kind of player who draws in multiple defenders and creates space for those around him. His work rate through the middle of the field and his ability to finish make him a genuine weapon on the edge.

Custom Squad is proud to back one of Newcastle's own as he chases greatness.
