Fehi Fineanganofo extends New Zealand contract before Newcastle move

Fehi Fineanganofo Rugby World Cup 2027 Hurricanes Newcastle Red Bulls Super Rugby

Rugby player Fehi Fineanganofo will remain in New Zealand for the 2027 season after signing a contract extension with New Zealand Rugby (NZR). The 24-year-old winger will continue playing for the Hurricanes and Bay of Plenty through 2027.

Following this extension, Fineanganofo is scheduled to join the Newcastle Red Bulls on a three-year deal running from 2027 to 2029. The arrangement was reached after discussions between NZR, the Newcastle club, and the player to ensure Fineanganofo has the best opportunity to secure a position in the All Blacks squad for the 2027 Rugby World Cup.

Fineanganofo enters this period following a record-breaking 2026 campaign in which he scored 17 tries, setting a new Super Rugby record.
