Following a standout schoolgirl career,
Lolohea was just 17 years old when she
was part of Canterbury’s Farah Palmer Cup
team for 2020. However, it wasn’t until
2022 where she made her debut against
Wellington and had a standout season to
be awarded most promising FPC player of
the year alongside Hannah King.
Lolohea is the younger sister of Matatū
and Black Ferns winger Martha Mataele
(née Lolohea). The two were both part of
Matatū’s championship winning Sky Super
Rugby Aupiki side of 2023, with Martha
debuting for the Black Ferns later that year.
In 2023 Atlanta was called into the
Black Ferns as injury cover during the
final week of WXV. Impressing selectors
at the time with her professionalism and
hard work, she went on to secure her first
Black Ferns contract in 2024.
