Caleb Delany

Caleb Delany is a flanker who joined the Hurricanes in 2024, adding size and athleticism to the Wellington-based franchise's loose-forward stocks. Born on 4 February 2000, he brings a competitive lineout presence to go with his work at the breakdown, making him a useful option in securing and contesting possession. Delany's strengths lie in the set piece and the physical exchanges, where his frame allows him to operate as both a jumping option and a forceful presence in defence. As a relatively recent addition to the squad, he provides depth and impact to the Hurricanes' back row, often making his presence felt as the game opens up. His progression centres on cementing a regular role, using his athleticism and aerial ability to carve out a niche in a Super Rugby Pacific environment that places a premium on dynamic, mobile forwards. If he can marry his set-piece value with greater consistency in the loose, Delany has the physical tools to become a more regular feature of the Hurricanes' matchday plans in the seasons ahead.
