Powerhouse centre Seta Bituniyata was recently named the Best Pro D2 Player of the Year.

This came just two days after he was added to the Flying Fijians’ 60-member squad for the November Nations Championship.

The former Fiji men’s rugby sevens forward had an outstanding season for his club, Provence.

Pro D2 is the second-tier professional rugby union club competition in France, operated by the Ligue Nationale de Rugby.

Last season, the 31-year-old impressed with 14 tries, 88 tackles and 43 offloads, including the second-best tally for tackles and a season record for offloads.

Throughout last season, Bituniyata tormented defences while slowing down opposing attacks, helping Provence reach the Pro D2 final.
