“I’ve been very fortunate to have a great run in a Crusaders jersey so far, I remember coming back into the team early in 2018 and there were a lot of greats at the time. I loved being around them as much as I could and growing with them.”Jordan added to the official Crusaders website: “Over the last couple of years, it’s been great to play a bit more on the pitch and be a bit more vocal. I’ve really enjoyed my game at Crusaders and I’m looking forward to continuing that.”
Additionally, New Zealand reiterated that: “When I first came to this team, I was a 19-year-old boy and I’m very mature in age. I think after you’ve been here for five or six years, you start to feel a little more comfortable in this place, but challenges and new things make you grow.
