Denny Solomona (born 27 September 1993) is a New Zealand born and raised rugby player, currently playing rugby union for English side Sale Sharks in the Aviva Premiership. He previously played rugby league as a winger for Melbourne Storm Under-20s, London Broncos and Castleford Tigers.
Solomona was born and brought up in Auckland and was educated at St Peter's College where he was a member of the school's Rugby Union First XV and won the Boris Shroj Cup in 2010 as the top try scorer.
In 2012, Solomona became a member of the Melbourne Storm Rugby League franchise being recruited out of Melbourne's youth system. He only played 13 games during the 2012 National Youth Competition season, with a fractured fibula in Round 13. Nevertheless, the 19-year-old scored eight tries from those 13 games. Solomona joined the Melbourne Storm's senior squad in 2013.
Solomona signed for Super League side London Broncos in January 2014 after being released from his contract with Melbourne Storm. Following the club's relegation, it was announced that he would join Castleford Tigers at the end of the season.
In 2016, Solomona scored a record-breaking 37th try in a single Super League season in Castleford's Super 8s win over Catalans. The try broke a 12-year record held by former dual-international, Lesley Vainikolo. Solomona finished the season with a total of 40 tries along with another 2 in the Challenge Cup competition. On October 8, 2016, Solomona made his International debut for Samoa in their historical test match against Fiji in Apia.
