Kane Koteka

Koteka is a long-serving WA-born-and-bred Force player, who could bring up 50 Force caps this season. The flanker debuted for the Force in 2015, becoming the first member of the Future Force Foundation academy to make a Super Rugby appearance. He has made 43 appearances for the Club, winning the prestigious 2021 Nathan Sharpe Medal along the way, built around his reputation as a team-first player full of energy and toughness. He’s contending with Carlo Tizzano for a starting spot at openside flanker. Koteka may be a local but he has Cook Islands and New Zealand heritage, idolizing Jerry Collins as a kid. In his downtime, ‘Boogie’ enjoys golf, guitar and the beach.
