In January, Fatialofa suffered a C4 vertebrae fracture and spinal contusion, while playing for the Worcester Warriors in an English premiership.
After undergoing surgery for a spinal contusion, which causes compression on the spinal cord and can lead to paralysis, there were fears he wouldn't walk again - but 11 weeks after having surgery he managed to take his first steps and in May, he managed to walk 2.32km unassisted.
His latest milestone related to another part of his body which doctors thought would be affected by his injury.
