Barrett sticks with All Blacks through to 2022

Wellington - Versatile back Jordie Barrett signed a three-year contract extension on Tuesday that will keep him with the All Blacks until the end of 2022.

The 22-year-old has scored eight tries in 10 Tests since making his international debut against Samoa in 2017.

"Staying in New Zealand rugby is really important to me," he said.

"I'm enjoying playing alongside my mates and I've got further aspirations and goals I want to reach while I'm playing in New Zealand."

All Blacks coach Steve Hansen said Barrett, who can play anywhere across the backline, had "a big future" in the game.

"He's an outstanding, talented young player who has soaked up everything he can in the All Blacks environment and grabbed every opportunity with both hands," he said.
