His performances saw him make the Northland Mitre 10 Cup team playing in 11 games before moving on to a fully professional contract with SU Agen in France, as a medical joker for Canadian wing Taylor Paris.
His impressive performances saw Agen make him a permanent signing at the end of the season with a two-year contact. However in November 2016 it was announced Nakosi had signed for Toulon to join his brother Josua Tuisova, before allowing him to remain at Agen for a further season on loan.
