All Black star Jordie Barrett has committed his immediate future with New Zealand Rugby and Hurricanes after signing a new contract until the end of 2025.

Barrett made his professional rugby debut with Canterbury in 2016 and went on to make his Super Rugby debut with Hurricanes in 2017. On his first season in Super Rugby, he went on to score 135 points from 17 games. His father Kevin played 167 games for Taranaki.

The 25-year-old made his All Blacks debut in 2017 and has gone on to represent his country 45 times. He also was part of the 2019 Rugby World Cup squad.

“It’s a privilege to have the opportunity to live and play rugby in New Zealand. That is a dream I’ve had since I was a young kid,” said Barrett.

“I feel as though the Hurricanes franchise is in a really good place at the moment and I feel like the All Blacks are building towards something special.”

New Zealand head coach Ian Foster is delighted with Barrett extending his stay until 2025.

“I’m delighted with Jordie’s re-signing.”

“He’s become a massive part of our long-term plan. His commitment to New Zealand through till 2025 is fantastic news.”

Hurricanes head coach Jason Holland believes Barrett committing is a big boost to the club.

“It’s great to get Jordie re-signed,” Holland said.

“He is a quality man and player, so it’s awesome to have him re-commit to the club and wearing that yellow jersey for another three seasons.”

“He has a wealth of experience, is extremely versatile, and over the last few months he has reinforced his abilities at an international level. We're not just signing a top-level Hurricane, but also a top-level All Black.”
