He returned to New Zealand to continue his rugby career in 2008 and was also selected to play for Samoa in 2013.

Leiua has the ability to play both centre and on the wing, and has pace to burn. This will be his fourth season as a full squad member of the Hurricanes. He made eight appearances at Super Rugby level in 2013.
