Demitric Sifakula (born 15 March 2004) is a New Zealand rugby league footballer who plays as a for the New Zealand Warriors in the National Rugby League (NRL).
Sifakula was born in Auckland, New Zealand. He was educated at De La Salle College, Māngere East.[2] He was an Otahuhu Leopards junior.[3]
Sikakula was first signed by the New Zealand Warriors in 2019 as a 15-year-old from the Otahuhu Leopards. In 2023, after impressive performances in the lower grades, and in the Warriors opening trial fixture, Sifakula was upgraded to a top 30 contract and re-signed until the end of 2025.[4] [5]
Sifakula made his first grade debut in his side's 14−0 loss to the Sydney Roosters at Mount Smart Stadium in round 9 of the 2023 NRL season.[6] In his second match against the Penrith Panthers, Sikakula was sent to the sin bin by referee Todd Smith for apparently striking Penrith's Nathan Cleary.[7] Sikakula was not charged by the NRL match review over the incident.[8] [9]
