Clint Newland is a New Zealand Rugby Union player, currently playing with the Eastern Province Kings[1]. He was born in Dannevirke and attended New Plymouth Boys' High School as a boarder. Newland has been playing for Hawkes Bay since 1999, where he debuted against Poverty Bay. He played in every match until 2007 when he was served a 10 week ban for knocking out Wellington Prop Neemia Tialata. Newland was then selected for Super 14 for the Highlanders. He was then selected for the NZ Maori team playing 1 game before a shoulder injury ruled him out of successive matches including the 2008 NPC round. He returned for the Highlanders playing impressively throughout the season. Although playing tighthead for the Highlanders he is able to perform well in both propping positions. In November 2010, Leinster announced the signing of Newland on a short term contract, running until February 2011. In March 2011, he signed for the Eastern Province Kings.[2]

Newland made his provincial debut for Hawkes Bay in 1999. He played in the NZ Divisional XV from 2002–2005 when the competition was revised to increase the number of NPC teams. In 2008 he was selected to play Super 14 for the Highlanders. Newland has impressed at Leinster, with Stephen Keogh saying Newland brings some much needed 'Kiwi beef' to the Leinster front five. He failed to impress at Leinster with Mike Ross starting almost every game ahead of him.
