Club Rugby Unearthed 001: Kyle Preston & Tjay Clarke

In a new series for the first part of 2025 on social media and on this website, we are highlighting players to have played professional rugby – many international rugby – who have largely come through club rugby and mostly not played in NZ school or age grade teams along the way.

The series goes back over a quarter of a century, but it’s being started with two contemporary players, Kyle Preston and TJ Clarke. Both have come through local and club pathways to be first time Super Rugby players in 2025.
