Ricky Jackson

2nd Aug 1998 1.80m/100kg Hooker

2020 will be a big year for Sio as he will look to capatalise on more time on the field.

Ricky Jackson has been selected for the Highlanders squad ahead of the 2020 Super Rugby season. He has 1 cap and will be looking to add to this total.

Jackson played in the New Zealand under-20 side in the 2018 Oceania Rugby U20 Championship and put in a quality performance against the Fijian under-20s side where they thrashed the Fijians 55-15.

Jackson was called in the Highlanders team in round three of the 2019 Investec Super Rugby Competition as injury cover and made his Highlanders’ debut against the Melbourne Rebels.

With two experienced hookers in the squad young Jackson will be looking to learn as much as he can off Liam Coltman and Ash Dixon in 2020 and lay the foundations for a long Super Rugby career.
