Background

Club career

Ikitau joined the ACT Brumbies pathways program after graduating from Brisbane Boys' College in 2016. He made his Super Rugby debut in 2019. In March 2023, he signed on a new deal with the Brumbies until the end of 2025. [4]

On 24 April 2025, Ikitau has signed a two-year contract extension with Rugby Australia and with the Brumbies until the end of 2027. Ikitau's new contract means he will move to England on a short sabbatical to play for Exeter Chiefs in the Premiership Rugby competition for the 2025-26 season. [5]

International career

Ikitau made his debut for Australia in the second game of the 2021 France rugby union tour of Australia, coming off the bench in a 26-28 loss in Melbourne.

In July 2023, Ikitau suffered a fractured scapula in a game against Argentina. [6] The injury meant that he was not considered for Australia's 2023 Rugby World Cup squad. [7]
