Crusaders captain David Havili has re-signed with the Super Rugby Pacific club for another two years
In his 10th season with the club, Havili said there were a number of reasons for him staying.
"I've really enjoyed the opportunity to lead the boys this year and the success we've had. I'm so glad to have signed on for another couple of years and keep this train rolling," he said.
The 30-year-old, who has played 30 games for the All Blacks, is closing in on 150 games for the Crusaders.
"Reaching that milestone and playing 150 games for this club will be pretty special," he said.
Havili first joined the Crusaders in 2015 and was named Crusaders Player of Year in 2017.
Head Coach Rob Penney said Havili a key part of the glue that holds the Crusaders together.
"His DNA is red and black and he's such a committed member of this organisation. The leadership he's provided to the club has been really valuable and it's wonderful to have him and all his experience in the organisation for another two years," Penney said.
