Career

As a result of his impressive showings during the 2013 ITM Cup, Koloamatangi was named in the Chiefs wider training squad ahead of the 2014 Super Rugby season. Good preseason form coupled with injuries to more established loose forwards such as Sam Cane and Tanerau Latimer saw Koloamatangi make his debut in Round 1 of the season, an 18-10 victory away to the Crusaders. [1]

In February 2017 he was signed by English Championship side London Irish until the end of the season.

Koloamatangi attended Nelson College in 2006. [2]

In 2021 Koloamatangi returned to New Zealand and was called in to the Tasman squad during the 2021 Bunnings NPC for a non competition match against Bay of Plenty. The Mako went on to make the premiership final before losing 23–20 to Waikato.
