Born in Auckland, Ngaluafe was a New Zealand under-19s representative halfback and played in the side that won the 2007 Under 19 Rugby World Championship, before switching his allegiance. [1]

Ngaluafe, an Auckland and Northland provincial player, made two appearances for the Blues, both off the bench. He debuted in their match against France in 2013, as a second-half replacement for Jamison Gibson-Park, then a month later got flown over to Bloemfontein when Piri Weepu pulled out of a match against the Cheetahs. [2]

In 2016, Ngaluafe gained a cap for Tonga against Georgia in Suva. [3]

Ngaluafe played rugby for West Harbour in the Shute Shield. [4]
