“I don’t know what’s going to pop up after this. I would love to stay or maybe look at elsewhere,” he told New Zealand Newswire.

“I just have to see what’s best for me and my career, and also my family.”

Fekitoa’s Highlanders and All Blacks team-mate Ben Smith is keen for the 24-year-old midfielder to stay at the Dunedin-based franchise.



“I’d love to see Malakai sign for another 20 years,” he said.

“I think you’re seeing how well he plays when he enjoys his environment. I’d hope that he would sign back up with us for a few more years.”
