Hurricanes playmaker Harry Godfrey has sustained a ruptured ACL while training with Hawke’s Bay in the NPC.
He will require surgery and is expected to be unavailable for the 2026 Super Rugby Pacific season.
“It’s hugely disappointing for us and Harry to get a serious injury in the NPC and take him out of contention for the Super Rugby Pacific season ahead,” Hurricanes head coach Clark Laidlaw said.
“It was pretty obvious last year that Harry was stepping up to become a real valued member of the squad. The way he was playing in the NPC this year, I think you could see that maturity was starting to come.
“We will support him post-operation at the end of the month. I’m sure he’ll be back bigger and better and stronger.
“We have a good track record here of players returning well from injury, so our medical crew and strength and conditioning team will get to work through November and help with Harry’s recovery.”
The Hurricanes will announce an injury replacement for Godfrey, and the full squad for next season, in due course.
