Born in Auckland, New Zealand, Junior Paulo began his rugby league journey with the Cabramatta Two Blues whilst attending Ashcroft High School. He made his NRL debut in 2013 for the Parramatta Eels against the St. George Illawarra Dragons.
After a short stint with the Canberra Raiders, where he played 55 games between 2016 and 2018, Paulo returned to the Eels in 2019. He has since become a cornerstone of the team, becoming just the 14th player in Parramatta Eels history to reach 200 games in the Blue & Gold jersey.
On the representative stage, Paulo has donned the NSW U20s jersey and represented New South Wales in State of Origin in 2012. Internationally, he has proudly represented Samoa in Tests (2016, 2019), Internationals (2017), the Rugby League World Cup (2017, 2022), and the Pacific Championships (2023, 2025).
Known for his strength, resilience, and impact in the middle, Junior Paulo remains a key figure in both club and international rugby league.
Junior was awarded the club’s Jack Gibson NRL Coaches’ Award in 2020.
