Club career

On 1 February 2020, Rakula went on a trial at Manukau United FC in New Zealand together with his teammate from Ba F.C. and the national team, Malakai Rakula.[2] Both players signed a one-year deal with the club on 10 February 2020.[3] They made their debut together on 13 March 2020 in a friendly match.[4]

National team

In 2018 Sami was called up by coach Christophe Gamel for the Fiji national football team. He made his debut on March 22, 2018, in a 3–2 loss against the Philippines. He came in for Narendra Rao in the 69th minute of play. [5] In 2019, he was selected for the 2019 Pacific Games. Fiji won a bronze medal.
