Wellington-born and raised Billy Proctor attended St Patrick’s College.
He is the younger brother of Hurricanes and Maori All Blacks centre Matt, Billy Proctor like his brother is an intelligent centre with a wide range of skills that give him the ability to play in both midfield positions.
The former New Zealand schoolboy was named in the Wellington Lions wider training squad for the 2017 Mitre 10 Cup at the age of 18. Proctor made his debut off the bench against Otago during the 2017 Mitre 10 and started his first match the following week against Southland.

In the 2022 Super Rugby season, Proctor played 11 games for the Hurricanes where he made a total of 81 attacking runs and scored 5 tries in the season.
