Career
Alofa was born in Auckland, New Zealand but emigrated to Australia with his family aged four. He started out his professional career in rugby league with the Sydney Roosters, and switched to union in 2013. He scored 13 tries during the 2013 Shute Shield season, this brought him to the attention of the Waratahs who named him in their wider training group for the 2014 Super Rugby season. Alofa made his first appearance in week 1 of the campaign and marked his debut with a try in a 43-21 win over the Western Force in Sydney.
Internationally, Alofa was eligible to play for New Zealand due to it being the country of his birth. He was also able to play for the Wallabies by virtue of residency, and Samoa through his Samoan born parents, the Samoan ministers Kaisala and Tusi. On 14 November 2014, he made his international debut for Samoa against Canada, starting on the right wing.
