Laqeretabua joined the academy of Charlton Athletic at the under-9 level. He won the 2022–23 league championship with the under-18 side. In July 2023, he signed his first professional contract with the club, a two-year deal.[3][4]
Laqeretabua made his competitive debut for Charlton's senior side on 5 September 2023 in a 3–4 2023–24 EFL Trophy loss to Crawley Town.[5][6]
Laqeretabua's parents are from Fiji's Tailevu Province. In 2022, he was identified as one of the promising Fijian footballers who would make up the next generation of the country's national team.[7] In February 2023, at age seventeen, he accepted a call-up to the Fiji under-20 team for a training camp ahead of the 2023 FIFA U-20 World Cup, despite being on the radar of the English FA.[8][9] About the call up, Laqeretabua said, "It has always been my dream to be called up to play for my parents' country of birth."[10][11] He went on to be part of Fiji's final squad for the tournament, making two appearances.[12][13][14]
