Matt Todd re-signs with Crusaders and New Zealand Rugby

New Zealand Rugby and the Crusaders have secured the services of loose forward Matt Todd for another year, re-signing him to the end of the 2018 season.

“I was born and raised here in Christchurch, and now I am bringing up my own young family here'" commented Tood.

"I feel incredibly fortunate to be able to live here and play for the teams I love, so it was a pretty easy decision to re-sign with NZ Rugby and the Crusaders for 2018.”

28-year-old Todd has been a consistent performer for the Crusaders and All Blacks since making his Super Rugby debut in 2011 and Test debut in 2013.

He has played eight Tests to date and is only a few games off reaching his 100th cap for the Crusaders.
