BIOGRAPHY

Black Fern #258

Maia Joseph is a dynamic halfback for the Black Ferns and Matatū. Joseph began her rugby journey with Pōneke, Wellington at age five and later played for University and Dunedin clubs. In 2020, she made her Otago Spirit debut and earned the Fiao’o Fa’amausili Medal as the Farah Palmer Cup Player of the Year in 2022. In 2024, she made a successful return to rugby after being sidelined due to a knee injury and made her debut for Matatū and the black Ferns in the Pacific Four Series against the USA. Rugby talent isn’t scarce in the Joseph household as she is the daughter of former All Black Jamie Joseph.
