Biography:

Inking a new four-year contract extension in 2023, NAS will once again be eager to lead from the front for Storm’s forward pack this season.

In his 20 appearances for Storm in 2023, he topped Storm’s count for tackle breaks, managing 94 and also running for 2,154 metres.

Now in his 10th season in Storm colours, Nelson Asofa-Solomona also boasts an impressive International resume, helping NZ clinch the Pacific Test Championship at the end of last season.

One of the most destructive runners of the ball in the game, the big prop also has a softer side, caring for two daschunds at home.

Nelson is sponsored by Ace Waste, The Hitchcock Family and Euphoria Infusions.
