All Blacks winger Sevu Reece has committed to New Zealand Rugby and the Crusaders until the end of 2026, a move that solidifies his place in the sport for the foreseeable future.
Reece, who debuted for both teams in 2019, has become a key player, recently surpassing Caleb Ralph to become the Crusaders’ all-time top try scorer.
His connection to the Crusaders runs deep, describing the club in a statement as more than just a team but a family. As he looks forward to the upcoming season, Reece is eager to don the jersey and demonstrate the team’s potential.
In addition to extending his contract, Reece is making a big shift in his provincial rugby career by moving from Tasman to Southland for the NPC.
The decision is motivated by personal reasons, as his partner Kiri and her family are from Southland, allowing him more time with them and the local community.
Crusaders head coach Rob Penney is excited about retaining Reece, highlighting his exceptional talent and the anticipation of his future achievements with the franchise.
