Setareki Hughes is set to join Auckland City FC: A major move for the Fijian football star

Setareki Hughes, the star midfielder of Rewa and a standout performer for the Fiji national team, is poised to make a significant move to Auckland City, one of the powerhouses of New Zealand and Oceania football. This move comes after Hughes recently helped Fiji reach the semifinals of the OFC Nations Cup, where the national team ended up in 4th place.

The 29-year-old Hughes, known for his speed, dribbling technique, ball control, and quality passing, has been one of the best performers in Fijian football in recent seasons. As the current captain of Rewa, the leaders and champions of the Digicel Fiji Premier League, Hughes has played a crucial role in his team’s success.

Hughes also showcased his talents in the last edition of the OFC Champions League this year in Tahiti, where he faced Auckland City in the group stage. The match ended in a thrilling 2-2 draw, highlighting Hughes’ ability to compete at the highest levels of regional football.

This anticipated move to Auckland City represents a significant step in Seta‘s career and is expected to further elevate his game while providing a valuable opportunity to compete in a more challenging and prestigious football environment. The news of Hughes’ transfer was confirmed by Rewa FC president Nazeel Buksh to local media in Fiji, marking a milestone moment for both the player and the club.
