Rob Valetini

Biography

Rob Valetini is special. The Melbourne-born winger is as physically-gifted as any player to come through the Brumbies ranks and the game to match. When the Brumbies signed Valetini straight out of school, the hype began to grow and in 2018, Valetini was selected as a starter for Round One.

Unfortunately, he sustained an injury not long into his Brumbies debut in Japan, meaning Brumbies fans had to wait a little longer to see Valetini’s talents. When he returned against the Rebels, he gave Brumbies fans a glimpse of his superior potential, picking a peach of a line to score his maiden Super Rugby try.

Valetini was struck down with injury again for the remainder of the season, but the seed had already been planted in the minds of Brumbies fans. Valetini continued his recovery with the Canberra Vikings in the NRC and will be burning to get his super Rugby career restarted in earnest in 2019.
