Fijian-born Australian internationally capped centre Tevita Kuridrani played in Major League Rugby during the 2024 season. He represented the Seattle Seawolves for his entire MLR career.

Born in Suva, Fiji, Kuridrani grew up in the small village of Namatakula before moving to Australia at the age of 11. In 2010 he represented the Fiji U20 team at the IRB Junior World Championship in Argentina before switching to represent Australia at the IRB World Sevens Series. He also represented Australia U20s at his second JWC the following year, the same year he joined the Queensland Reds academy. In 2012, Kuridrani joined the Brumbies in Super Rugby and made his debut against the Reds. By 2013 he had become a regular starter, and earned his test debut for the Wallabies that same year, against the All Blacks. Kuridrani would go on to earn 61 caps for Australia to date, representing the Wallabies at two Rugby World Cups in 2015 & 2019.

After over 100 caps for the Brumbies, Kuridrani moved to the Western Force in 2020, before heading to France to represent Biarritz in the Top 14 for the 2021/22 season. The Seattle Seawolves announced the signing of the then-32yo Tevita Kuridrani on 30th November 2023 ahead of the 2024 season, about 18 months since he last played in a professional game due to injury. Kuridrani appeared in 6 MLR games for the Seawolves in 2024 (all starts), racking up over 300m gained and earning a Team of the Week selectin in Round 10 as Seattle qualified for the playoffs as the 2nd seed in the West, but Kuridrani did not appear in the Championship Series, as Seattle advanced to their 4th MLR final.
