[1][4] Drummond was first named in Canterbury's 2013 ITM Cup squad where the then 19 year old largely served as back up to the more experienced Andy Ellis and Willi Heinz.
He played 10 games during the season, 5 of which came from the start and scored 7 points as Canterbury were disappointingly knocked out in the ITM Cup semi finals by local rivals, Tasman.
2016 saw a reversal of fortunes for him as a broken leg picked up in training resulted in him playing only the first three games of the year as his side marched to their 8th provincial title in 9 seasons.
Drummond scored an impressive 4 tries in 13 games of which he started 5 as the Crusaders reached the competition's quarter finals before losing out 42-25 to the Lions in Johannesburg.
A year on from his international debut, Drummond was re called to the All Blacks, as a member of Steve Hansen's 51 man squad, travelling to the Northern Hemisphere for the 2018 end-of-year tour.
