Hurricanes Head Coach Mark Hammett said “Ben is a true professional in the game with a never give up attitude. On the field, he is uncompromising and hardworking.”
“Ben also understands what it means for play for the Hurricanes. He has strong leadership abilities and recognises the importance of being active in the community.”
Hurricanes CEO James Te Puni added, “We warmly welcome Ben to the Hurricanes family. He strives for success and we look forward to working with him to achieve his personal aspirations and our team goals in the coming season.”
