Josh Bradnock was an exciting addition to 2009 Hurricanes squad by adding depth and enthusiasm to the loose forward stocks.
A former Hurricanes schoolboys star, Bradnock also missed most of the 2008 Air New Zealand Cup season with an Achilles tendon injury.
He worked his way back to provincial level but his Achilles went again while playing for Manawatu against Hawke's Bay in the 2009 ITM Cup.
A member of the Crusaders' Wider Training squad in 2008, he was also ruled out of Super 14 contract contention that season due to a shoulder injury.
