worldfootynews.com is pleased to be able to confirm that Fijian players Inoke Ratu (aged 20) and Solomoni Loki (still only 17) will be continuing on the Western Bulldogs' International Scholarship List in 2010.

First signed up in October 2008, the Bulldogs this week confirmed to WFN that the players would continue to be developed by the club this year. Ratu has had ongoing issues securing a visa to Australia, but has continued his development in Fiji and assisted with Fiji's team at the recent Youth Oceania Cup.

Solomoni Loki, the younger of the pair, performed well for Fiji in the same tournament, being named in the Pacific Islands squad for the AFL Under 16 championships later this year (the international sides are allowed to field players up to 18).
