Personal Overview

Tane Leatherby 

I am a 20 year-old rugby player from New Zealand. I play winger but developing to play centre for southern rugby club, a premier division located in the Taranaki region. I have been lucky enough to be involved in the Taranaki bulls wider training squad this year and has been able to develop my skills and learn off the experienced players in the team.

I am very motivated to experience rugby in a different country to broaden my rugby knowledge and develop as a player as well as making a impact to a club on and off the field, I believe getting out of my comfort zone, meeting new people and experiencing a new country will enhance my performance on the field and will make lasting successful relationships of it. 

I am a team player and would love to get around a new club to excel my rugby career.
