Atlanta Lolohea

Following a standout schoolgirl career, Lolohea was just 17 years old when she was part of Canterbury's Farah Palmer Cup team for 2020. However, it wasn’t until 2022 where she made her debut against Wellington and had a standout season to be awarded most promising FPC player of the year alongside Hannah King.  

Lolohea is the younger sister of Matatū and Black Ferns winger Martha Mataele (née Lolohea). The two were both part of Matatū’s championship winning Sky Super Rugby Aupiki side of 2023, with Martha debuting for the Black Ferns later that year.  

In 2023 Atlanta was called into the Black Ferns as injury cover during the final week of WXV. Impressing selectors at the time with her professionalism and hard work, she went on to secure her first Black Ferns contract in 2024.
