Club career

In 2009, Vula represented Lautoka F.C.,[1] while also serving as a military officer.[2]

In 2012, Vula earned several awards in a successful season playing for Suva. He was the player of the tournament in both the Fiji FACT and Courts IDC competitions. Following these awards, he was voted men's player of the year by the Fiji Football Association. In October of that year, Vula stated he intended to remain with Suva for the remainder of his career.[3]

In 2013, Vula was banned for five years and fined $5,000 for indiscipline during the 2013 edition of the Fiji FACT. He was accused of having verbally abused his own club's management team, as well as damaging property at the team base camp.[4]
