World class hooker Dane Coles will stick with New Zealand until 2021 after overcoming a serious knee injury.
“I still feel like there are things that I want to achieve in New Zealand with teams that mean a lot to me,” Coles said.
“Missing all of last year’s Super Rugby season with injury made me realise just how much I missed being out there for the Hurricanes and I want more time in the jersey.”
Coles was the starting hooker in the 2015 World Cup final win over the Wallabies and led the Hurricanes to their maiden Super Rugby crown a year later.
