In round 8 of the 2013 NRL season , Feki made his National Rugby League (NRL) début for the Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks as a wing in the 21-20 victory over the Newcastle Knights at Hunter Stadium .[10] In his second game in Round 9 against the Wests Tigers at SFS , Feki scored his first and second NRL career tries in the Sharks 30-6 win.[11] Feki finished his debut year in the NRL with him playing in 19 matches and scoring 7 tries for the Sharks in the 2013 NRL season . On 8 October 2013, Feki was named in the 24 man Tonga national rugby league team squad for the 2013 World Cup.[12] Feki played in 1 match in the tournament in Tonga's 26-24 loss to the Scotland at Derwent Park in Workington .[13]
In February 2014, Feki was included in the Sharks inaugural 2014 Auckland Nines squad.[14] On 11 July 2014, Feki extended his contract with Cronulla-Sutherland for three years through till the end of the 2017 season.[15] Feki was the Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks highest tryscorer of the 2014 NRL season with 9 tries in 20 matches although his efforts were not enough to save the club from finishing last on the table.[16]
On 9 September 2014, Feki was selected for the New Zealand 2014 Four Nations train squad.[17] On 7 October 2014, Feki was selected in the New Zealand national rugby league team final 24-man squad for the series,[18] but didn't play a match in the tournament.
On 31 January and 1 February, Feki played for the Sharks in the 2015 NRL Auckland Nines .[19] On 2 May, he played for Tonga in their Polynesian Cup clash with Pacific rivals Samoa , playing on the wing in Tonga's 18-16 loss at Cbus Super Stadium .[20] He finished off the 2015 season having played in 23 matches and scoring 7 tries for the Sharks.[21]

For a career best 14 tries from 24 appearances, 248 runs amassing 2588 metres, 13 linebreaks and 51 tackle breaks. In October, Feki played in Cronulla-Sutherland's 2016 NRL Grand Final victory over Melbourne Storm , however, he was forced off with a knee injury in the second half. This was the first NRL Premiership for both Feki and the Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks .[24]
Feki was scheduled to come off contract, however continued performance led to re-signing with the Sharks through to the 2019 season. Feki, a Cronulla fan favourite stated 'I'm looking forward to it' and 'I'm hoping to stay as long as I can.'[25]
Feki made 16 appearances for Cronulla in 2018 as the club reached the preliminary final but fell short of another grand final appearance losing to Melbourne 22-6. The match was also remembered for Melbourne player Billy Slater hitting Feki in the first half with an illegal shoulder charge when Feki was close to scoring a try. Slater was later cleared of any wrongdoing and was allowed to play in the grand final the following week.[26]
On 3 July, Feki signed a three-year contract to join English side Castleford Tigers for the 2020 Super League season.[27]
In round 25 against the Wests Tigers , Feki scored 2 tries as Cronulla-Sutherland won the match 25-8 at Leichhardt Oval . Cronulla needed to win the match to ensure that they would reach the finals as was also the case for Wests.[28]
Feki's final game for Cronulla came in the elimination final against Manly at Brookvale Oval which Cronulla lost 28-16.[29]
On 4 March 2020 it was reported that Feki suffered a pre-season injury that would delay his Castleford Tigers début[30]
On 18 February, Castleford Tigers (Heritage № 999 ) announced that Feki had sustained a ruptured achillies tendon in pre-season training.
