Braydon Ennor

Crusaders midfielder Braydon Ennor ranks among the most dangerous attacking backs in New Zealand rugby. Born on 16 July 1997, the All Blacks representative is a versatile, explosive runner whose pace and sharp defensive reads make him a constant threat across the backline. Ennor's calling card is his ability to break the line. He combines genuine speed with a strong fend and an eye for a gap, allowing him to turn half-openings into clean breaks. Equally comfortable at centre or on the wing, he serves as a two-way connector in the Crusaders' attack, linking play and finishing opportunities in equal measure. His defensive instincts and reading of the game add further value, making him a trusted figure in one of Super Rugby's most successful sides. A two-time Super Rugby Pacific champion in 2022 and 2023, Ennor has been an important part of the Crusaders' sustained dominance and has earned international recognition with the All Blacks. Injuries have at times interrupted his progress, but when fit he remains a high-impact operator whose blend of pace, versatility and competitive edge makes him a key weapon in the Crusaders' backline.
