NAGATA JOINS nib BLUES

The Blues are grateful to welcome Nijiho Nagata to our nib Blues Women's squad for 2024, replacing Esther Faiaoga-Tilo who has unfortunately been ruled out of the campaign due to injury.

Nagata, who has 13-caps for Japan at Hooker comes to the nib Blues from the Pearls in Japan, but she's no stranger to the 09 having donned the blue and white hoops in Auckland’s title winning FPC season.

She's very excited about joining her former Storm teammates and ripping into Aupiki 💙🇯🇵
