Vereimi Qorowale (full name Aloisio Vereimi Namuatabu Qorowale) joined Newcastle Falcons in the summer of 2022 from the British Army, where he served as a Rifleman in 2nd Battalion The Rifles (2 RIFLES) in Northern Ireland.

During his time there the Fijian-born flyer played for the Army 7s team and Belfast Harlequins, where he was coached by former Ulster and Ireland scrum-half Neil Doak, having previously played for London Irish Wild Geese when he was stationed near London.

A former back-row player in Fiji, Vereimi can play wing or centre and made his competitive debut for the Falcons in an away win over Leicester Tigers in the Premiership Rugby Cup in October 2022.

He then scored in his next game at home to Northampton, and ended the season by playing for the Army at Twickenham in their annual game against the Royal Navy, having earlier scored a try during the Army’s win over the RAF in Gloucester.
