Luke Campbell signs with Hurricanes for 2021

Bay of Plenty Steamers halfback, Luke Campbell, will return home to Wellington for 2021 to take up a contract with the Hurricanes.

The 25-year-old left the capital four years ago to play Mitre 10 Cup rugby, with the hope of eventually picking up a Super Rugby contract. 

With co-captain TJ Perenara bowing out of Super Rugby for 2021 to take up a contract in Japan, Campbell’s signing adds another halfback option to the mix alongside Jonathan Taumateine and Jamie Booth who aims to return from injury in the latter half of the season.

Hurricanes head coach, Jason Holland, said:

“Luke has impressed as a quality 9 with all the skills required for Super Rugby. His consistency of pass and kick will be vital to how we want to play the game.”
