All Black TJ Perenara halfback signed with NZ Rugby and Hurricanes, NRL experiment closes the door
All Black half-backs TJ Perenara have re-joined New Zealand rugby and the Hurricanes, even though they are related to the NRL code conversion. The deal lasted until the end of the 2023 Rugby World Cup in France.
Perenara was considered a shock replacement for Captain Rooster and hooker Jake Friend. They were forced to retire after just one game in the 2021 season due to persistent concussions.
But this unlikely experiment is long over until NZ Rugby
confirmed on Monday night that the 2015 Rugby World Cup champion has signed a
new two-year deal to stay in New Zealand with the hurricane.
Perenara is a 69 test for the All Blacks, he debuted in 2014
and confirmed this move on social media as well.
“New Zealand Rugby in the next two and a half years and my
wife and I have decided to return to the Hurricanes. We are very excited about
this trip. New Zealand Rugby for making me have the opportunity to go home and
do what you like and I really hope to see everyone back home and thank the
Hurricanes. "
Perenara current contract with NZR runs until the end of this
year, but he played for NTT Docomo Red Hurricanes in the highest league during
the Japanese competitions.
This situation is over after NTT Docomo lost Red Hurricanes
in the quarter-finals, last weekend and Perenara is on the verge of returning to
New Zealand.
This new agreement extends the Perenara player's contract until the end of the 2023 season and will participate in the 2023 Rugby World Cup.
Chris Lendrum, general manager of professional rugby and
appearances at NZR welcomed Perenara's decision.
“While TJ Perenara’s left Japan for a short stay, we said we
would welcome him home, so we are very happy that he has signed a contract with
us until 2023. He has been a part of New Zealand Rugby for over ten years. To
rest assured, his experience in Japan has made him grow as a person. We look
forward to his return. "
Hurricane CEO Avan Lee is delighted to be one of the club's
oldest players for the next two seasons.
“So today is a great day for our team, organization, fans,
and key stakeholders, we are very happy that TJ is back. TJ is a hundred
percent agree with Canes and what we want to achieve. “
