Ale Aho

Ale Aho brings youthful energy and physical edge to the Moana Pasifika back row. Born on 15 February 2003, the flanker has built his early career around a strong defensive presence and a genuine appetite for the contest at the breakdown. Aho is a willing and aggressive tackler who relishes the confrontational, Pacific-influenced style that defines Moana Pasifika's play, throwing himself into the collision battle and competing hard for turnover ball. In attack he offers a direct carrying option, looking to gain momentum for his side and keep the forward pack moving forward. As a developing member of the squad, much of his focus is on building the consistency and game sense to complement his obvious physical attributes. The flanker's role is one of relentless, often unrewarded effort, and Aho's tireless approach has made him a valued contributor to the team's defensive identity. With Moana Pasifika continuing to establish themselves in Super Rugby Pacific, young forwards like Aho represent an important part of the franchise's future, combining raw physicality with a clear commitment to the side's distinctive style.
