Hugh Renton

[7] He ended up playing 12 games for the side during the 2021 season and was one of their stand out performers as they made the Super Rugby Trans-Tasman final, which they lost 23–15 to the Blues.

Renton finished the season as the team’s top try scorer, crossing the line five times, and solidified his role as a crucial player in the squad.

Renton began the 2024 season continuing his strong form from the previous year, displaying his signature strength in carrying, tackling, and versatility on the field.

Unfortunately, in round 3 against the Waratahs, Renton ruptured his ankle, an injury that required surgery and ruled him out for the remainder of the Super Rugby season.

On 11 July 2024, the Hawke's Bay Rugby Union announced that Renton would return to his home province after signing a two-year contract ahead of the 2024 Bunnings NPC season.
