Career
Lolesio graduated from The Southport School, in which he played in their first XV and signed for the Brumbies squad in 2019.[5][6][7] He made his debut for the Brumbies at the start of the 2020 season, guiding the team to the 2020 Super Rugby AU championship after the COVID-19 pandemic ended the full competition prematurely.
In October 2020, Lolesio made his debut for the Wallabies in the third Test of the 2020 Bledisloe Cup at Stadium Australia in Sydney.[8]
Lolesio signed a 'joker deal' with RC Toulonnais for the duration of the 2023 Rugby World Cup[9] and re-signed with the Brumbies for 2024.[3]
In October 2025, Lolesio signed a one-year contract with second division Japanese club Toyota Industries Shuttles Aichi.[10] Lolesio went 7 games undefeated for his new club until a defeat to Kyushu Electric Power Kyuden Voltex in the 12th round.
