Of Samoan descent, Asotasi was born in Auckland, New Zealand. A product of the Marist Saints junior club in Auckland, he also attended Marcellin College, Auckland.

By 2002 Asotasi became a regular member of the Bulldogs' Premier League team and received the opportunity to join the highest grade of Rugby League in Australia, the NRL against Canberra, when Glen Hughes was injured.
