Brendon Edmonds (born 28 November 1990) is a New Zealand rugby union player who currently plays as a prop for Hawke's Bay in the ITM Cup[1][2] and the Highlanders in Super Rugby.[3]

Career

Hailing from the Hawke's Bay Region, Edmonds represented his home area at Under 16, 18 and 20 level before making his senior breakthrough in 2012. However it was the following year that Edmonds began making a name for himself with some strong displays in a good campaign for the Magpies.[3]

He was not initially named in any Super Rugby squads for the 2014 season, but some injuries to front-row players at the Hurricanes saw him called up to their wider training squad.[3] He debuted on 18 April 2014 as a second-half substitute in a 39–20 victory for the Hurricanes over the Blues in Wellington.[4]

He signed for the Highlanders for the 2015 Super Rugby season.[5]
