Chase Tiatia will run out as fullback this Saturday against the Brumbies in his 50th Super Rugby Match.

Tiatia made his Super Rugby debut for the Hurricanes in 2019 before returning to the Chiefs in 2021. Signed on a two-year deal with the Force, the 27-year-old has run on for every match of the '23 season.

With 22 caps for the Chiefs, 16 for the Hurricanes and 11 so far for the Force, Tiatia has plenty left in the tank for a decorated Super Rugby career.

Chase brings excitement and an x-factor to the Force. He's a player with strong versatility and a rugby brain that can play effectively across the backline.

His ability to see and create opportunities and beat defenders with the ball in hand are all major strengths. He's a high-energy and team-first character, aligning seamlessly with the club's values and team-first mentality.

Looking ahead, Tiatia is comfortable along the beaches here in the West.

"I am loving Perth; it's a beautiful city and I can definitely see myself settling down here. There is something big building here. The coaches are building a great squad and the boys are very welcoming."
