Filise extends Cardiff stay
The 38-year-old, who will be honoured at a Testimonial dinner on Friday, has spent a decade with the PRO12 side.
The Tongan stalwart has been in fine form this season with a stunning performance against the Scarlets at the beginning of the month.
Head coach Wilson said: "We're really pleased to have agreed a new deal with Fa'ao, who remains an integral member of our squad.
"He has been an outstanding servant to Cardiff Blues for more than a decade and is still playing some of the best rugby of his career.
"That was epitomised by his performance against the Scarlets.
"His durability in a Blues shirt is testament to his professionalism and he is a great role model for the youngsters coming through.
"He still has plenty left to give and we look forward to seeing him back at Arms Park next season.”
The former Blues front row is the only double centurion for the region with 215 appearances to date and was part of the European Challenge Cup and Energy Cup winning teams.
"I am delighted to sign a new contract at Cardiff Blues and was very happy when Danny (Wilson) approached me to talk about a new contract," said Filise.
"I have loved the last decade here, this is my home and I'm excited about the strength of the squad we are building here as we look to move forward now.”
