Laulala debuted for Canterbury during the 2014 ITM Cup and made four appearances in total, one of which was from the start. He joined Counties Manukau in 2016 along with older brother, All Blacks international, Nepo. While his brother missed the entire campaign through injury, Luteru played all 11 games, scoring 3 tries and netting 4 conversions as the Steelers reached the Premiership Semi-Finals before going down to Canterbury.[3]
Laulala was a New Zealand Schools Barbarians representative in 2012.[4] He was later a member of the Samoa Under 20 side which competed in the 2014 IRB Junior World Championship in New Zealand, before switching his allegiance back to the country of his birth, New Zealand ahead of the 2015 edition of the tournament.[2]
