Chiefs duo re-sign

Chiefs duo re-sign

The Chiefs have announced the retention of front rowers Aidan Ross and Angus Ta’avao who have both re-signed.


The pair has received a long-term boost with Ross and Ta’avao signing on until 2021 and 2020 respectively.

Aidan Ross has progressed through the Chiefs Development system before entering the 2018 Super Rugby season on a full contract. The 22-year-old Bay of Plenty Steelers loosehead prop played seven games this before it was abruptly ended with an ankle injury. He made his debut for the Chiefs in 2017 against the Western Force.

Angus Ta’avao thrived this season after being called into the team an injury replacement and played all 17 of the Chiefs games, clocking up over 1100 minutes. Ta’avao was honoured as the Chiefs Personality Award at the 2018 Chiefs Season Celebration.

The 28-year old is vastly experienced, having played for the Blues and Waratahs throughout his career and was a prominent figure for Taranaki in the Mitre 10 Cup, under current Chiefs coach Collin Cooper.
