Between 2008 and 2016, Latu made 122 senior appearances for Northern Mystics in the ANZ Championship.[2][22][23][24][25] She was a member of the inaugural Mystics team.[26][27] Ahead of the 2009 season, Latu was given special dispensation by the league to play for Mystics due to complications resulting from her decision to switch her international allegiances from Samoa to New Zealand.[28][29] Latu was a member of the 2011 Northern Mystics team that finished as grand finalists in the ANZ Championship.[30] During the same season, Latu made her 50th ANZ Championship/Mystics appearance in a Round 11 match against Canterbury Tactix.[22] Throughout her time with Mystics, Latu was known for her shooting accuracy.

Adelaide Thunderbirds

Ahead of the 2018 Suncorp Super Netball season, Tuivaiti signed for Adelaide Thunderbirds.[50][52] However in her final match for Central Pulse, during the Super Club tournament, she suffered an ACL injury.[53][54][55] In June 2018, after eleven months of rehabilitation, Tuivaiti played four games for Southern Force, the Thunderbirds reserve team, in the Australian Netball League.[11][56] On 8 July, she eventually made her senior debut for Thunderbirds in a Round 10 match against Collingwood Magpies.[56][57][58] In total she made five appearances for Thunderbirds.[59]

Between 2005 and 2007, Latu made 30 senior appearances for Samoa.[1][76][77] She represented Samoa at the 2006 Commonwealth Games[9][28] and the 2007 World Netball Championships.[27][28][78][79][80]

World 7

In August 2009, Latu played for a World 7 team, coached by Julie Fitzgerald, that played New Zealand in the 2009 Taini Jamison Trophy Series.

Latu partnered Donna Wilkins in the shooting circle and helped the World 7 win 52–43.[85][86][87]

New Zealand

In March 2011 it was reported that Netball New Zealand were appealing to the Court of Arbitration for Sport to declare Latu eligible to represent New Zealand at the 2011 World Netball Championships. International Federation of Netball Associations rules stated a player could not represent two different countries at successive World Netball Championships. Netball New Zealand cited the case of Vilimaina Davu, who had represented New Zealand in 2003 and Fiji in 2007.[84][88] In April 2011, Latu was named in the New Zealand squad for the 2011 World Netball Championships.[89][90] However, CAS ruled that Netball New Zealand had made their appeal too late, saying they should have presented it in 2009.[91][92][93][94]

On 3 October 2011, Latu eventually made her senior debut for New Zealand against England during the 2011 Taini Jamison Trophy Series. She came on for the second half, scoring 17 from 17. In the same match, Kayla Cullen and Sulu Tone-Fitzpatrick also made their senior New Zealand debuts.[95][96][97][98][99] She was a member of the New Zealand teams that won the 2012 Constellation Cup[100] and the 2013 Fast5 Netball World Series.[101][102][103] She was also a member of the New Zealand team that were silver medallists at the 2014 Commonwealth Games.[104][105][106][107] However, Latu subsequently fell out of favour[43][52][108][109] and she was dropped for the 2015 Netball World Cup[110][111][112][113][114] and the 2015 Constellation Cup.[115] In April 2022, she was one of 25 New Zealand internationals included on a list of the best players to feature in netball leagues in New Zealand since 1998.[116][117]
