Playing career
Salafia made his debut from the bench for Eastern Suburbs in round 8 of the 1995 ARL season. The next week, he played his first game in the starting line-up, replacing regular five-eighth Andrew Walker. The Roosters won the game, the only victory of Salafia's short career.
In 1996, Salafia joined the Gold Coast Chargers. He was in the starting side for the club's first game under the new moniker, but it was to be the last game he played.
