A centre, Afeaki was an Australian under-19s trialist, signed to the Brumbies Academy from Sydney University at the end of 2007.[1] He had only been at the academy for three months when he received a Super 14 call up early in the 2008 season, as an injury replacement for Anthony Faingaa, and made his debut against the Queensland Reds in Canberra.[2]

Afeaki joined French club RC Narbonne in the 2009–10 Rugby Pro D2 season.[3]

Of Tongan descent, Afeaki is related to rugby players Adam Coleman, Ben Afeaki, Stanley Afeaki and Inoke Afeaki.[4]
