Career
Tauru made his senior football debut at the age of 16, playing for Warragul Industrials in the West Gippsland Football Netball Competition (WGFNC).[3][4] He also played for Gippsland Power in the Talent League Boys competition and for Vic Country in the 2024 AFL National Championships.[5][6]
After being selected by St Kilda with pick 10 in 2024 AFL draft, Tauru had an interrupted preseason because of a stress fracture in his back.[7] He made his Victorian Football League (VFL) debut for St Kilda's reserves affiliate, Sandringham, in round 3 of the 2025 VFL season.[8] In his third VFL match, Tauru was suspended for four matches (covering a six week period because of two byes) for rough conduct against Brisbane player Curtis McCarthy.[9] The AFL approved under "exceptional circumstances" for the suspension to begin from Sandringham's practice match against the Tasmania Senior Talent Academy.[10]
Tauru made his AFL debut in round 15 of the 2025 season, recording nine disposals in a 34-point loss to Collingwood.[11]
