Reesjan Pasitoa is a talented first-five and inside back from Perth, Australia, known for his calm game management, accurate kicking, and ability to guide a backline.

Pasitoa made his Super Rugby debut for the Brumbies in 2020 before moving to the Western Force, where he continued to develop his control and attacking instincts. After an impressive 2025 Super Rugby season showcasing his maturity and skill under pressure, Pasitoa signed with the Highlanders at the end of the year.

Heading into 2026, he will be looking to make a strong start in Highlanders colours and stake his claim as a key first-five in the backline.
