Likhona Finca

An elusive outside back, Likhona Finca is a back on the books of the Lions, born on 21 May 2004. Finca operates in the wider channels, where his pace and footwork make him a threat in space and a willing finisher of attacking opportunities. Equally important is the work he puts in without the ball: the positional sense, aerial reliability and last-line defensive responsibility that a winger or fullback must provide at senior level. As one of the developing backs in the Lions setup, Finca is at an early stage of his career, focused on adding the consistency and physical edge that the step up to regular professional rugby demands. The Lions' environment offers a competitive proving ground, and his task is to take his chances when rotation or injury opens the door, showing he can be trusted both as an attacking spark and as a dependable defender. With genuine speed and an instinct for evasive running, Finca has the natural attributes that mark out a promising back three operator, and the next phase of his development is about converting that potential into a sustained run of senior minutes.
