Josh Moorby

Quick, elusive and assured under the high ball, Josh Moorby is an outside back who offers the Hurricanes pace and finishing power across the back three. Born on 11 July 1998, the New Zealander is comfortable at fullback or on the wing, combining a sharp turn of foot with evasive running and the composure to finish chances when they arrive. Moorby is dangerous in broken play, where his footwork and acceleration allow him to beat defenders in space, and he is reliable in the air and in defence at the back. As a versatile squad member, he provides valuable depth and cover across the outside positions, capable of starting or making an impact when introduced from the bench. His adaptability is a genuine asset, giving the Hurricanes' coaches options when shaping their matchday backline. Continuing to refine his game at Super Rugby Pacific level, Moorby brings the kind of speed, skill and game-breaking potential that can change the complexion of a contest, and he remains an important attacking option within the Hurricanes' back-three rotation.
