After spending three years in the English Super League with the Huddersfield Giants, New Zealand and Samoa international Dave Fa'alogo joined the Newcastle Knights in 2013.
He went on to play 56 games in the red and blue jersey, forging a reputation in Newcastle as a hard-running forward that didn't shy away from doing the dirty work.
Fa'alogo also captained Samoa in the 2014 Four Nations tournament, and was seen as one of the leaders in the Knights' dressing room.
In August 2015 the 34-year-old forward announced his immediate retirement following a neck injury.
