Exciting young Crusaders outside back Will Jordan has signed a new long‑term contract with the defending Super Rugby champions.

The 21‑year‑old has signed through to 2022, ending speculation that he could be on the move on the Highlanders, who are in the market for a new fullback to replace franchise legend Ben Smith.

Although he is currently sidelined with a foot injury, Jordan has been in spectacular form for the Crusaders, scoring eight tries in eight games.

The Crusaders play the Rebels at 7.35pm tomorrow.
