All Blacks forward Scott Barrett has confirmed that he has extended his contract with New Zealand Rugby until the end of 2025.

Additionally, the captain of the Canterbury Crusaders has committed his future to the Super Rugby franchise and his home province of Taranaki.

“I am excited to re-sign with New Zealand Rugby, the Crusaders and Taranaki for two more years,” Barrett said in a statement.

“I am grateful to have the opportunity to represent these teams which I love playing for.”

The 29-year-old has appeared in 58 Tests since making his All Blacks debut in 2016.

The adaptable forward is capable of playing as a lock or in the back row.

“This is fantastic news for the All Blacks,” said New Zealand head coach Ian Foster, who will step down following this year’s Rugby World Cup in France.

“Scott Barrett has become a massive contributor on and off the park, and to have his commitment past the Rugby World Cup is a real boost.”

Barrett and his brothers, Beauden and Jordie, made All Blacks history in 2017 as the first trio of siblings to be selected for the same team.
