OLIVE “OLLIE” KILIFI’s return to the Seattle Seawolves marks a celebrated homecoming to a city that has profoundly shaped his rugby career. Born in Huntington Beach, California, and raised in Seattle, Washington, Kilifi’s journey in rugby started in West Seattle and saw him evolve into a foundational player for the Seawolves, contributing significantly to their 2018 and 2019 championship wins and becoming one of the first to reach 50 caps in Major League Rugby. His extensive career also includes 31 appearances for the USA Rugby team, leadership roles, and participation in two Rugby World Cups. After a tenure with the Utah Warriors that expanded his playing and coaching repertoire, Kilifi’s return to Seattle is fueled by a deep connection to the city and its rugby community.
