Pat Mata'utia (pronounced ma-ta-oo-tee-a) (born 9 November 1993) is an Australian professional rugby league footballer who currently plays for the Newcastle Knights in the National Rugby League. He plays at centre and second-row.
Born in Campsie, New South Wales, Mata'utia is of Samoan descent and played his junior rugby league for the South Newcastle Lions in the Newcastle Rugby League, before being signed by the Newcastle Knights.
Mata'utia is the younger brother of Knights teammates Peter Mata'utia and Chanel Mata'utia, and older brother of Knights teammate Sione Mata'utia.
In October 2011, Mata'utia played for the Australian Schoolboys. In 2012 and 2013, he played for the Newcastle Knights' NYC team. On 16 October 2013, he re-signed with the Knights on a 2-year contract. In 2014, he graduated on to the Knights' New South Wales Cup team. Late in September 2014, he signed a letter of intent to join the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs on a 4-year contract starting in 2016, along with his brothers Chanel and Sione. However, the NRL's rules didn't allow the Bulldogs to register the contracts until 30 June 2015, leaving the option of staying at the Knights open for the Mata'utias.
On 19 March, Mata'utia re-signed with the Knights on a 3-year contract, along with his brothers Chanel and Sione. On 2 May, he played for Samoa against Tonga in the 2015 Polynesian Cup, making his international debut on the wing in Samoa's 18-16 win at Cbus Super Stadium.
