The 26-year-old has represented Wellington in the NPC since 2024 and was called into the Hurricanes squad ahead of Round 1 of the 2025 Super Rugby Pacific season, making his debut in the same fixture.
He said ‘I'm excited I am to be signing here with the Canes, and that Wellington's always been home for me. Great opportunity to represent my family, friends, community, and the Hurricanes region.”
Clark Laidlaw said, “We’re super excited to have him sign on.
He came in at the start of preseason in November, and since then it's been head down ass up, he’s worked really hard.
He’s really coachable and wants to get better. And he’s got some real attributes, being able to play at 15 and 10. He’s a really good athlete; he’s fast and has a good, long kicking game, as well as a goal kicker.
Looking forward to helping him develop his game and watching him play through the NPC with the confidence he’s got this year playing for us, and come back for next year's preseason to settle into the squad and continue to improve
It's exciting for us and exciting for him. We’re looking forward to working with him on a full-time basis.”
