Ereatara Enari, the 29-year-old halfback for the Hawke’s Bay Magpies, is set to depart for Wales to join the Dragons RFC, a club competing in the United Rugby Championship based in Newport. The announcement was made via social media by the Dragons, with additional confirmation from the Hawke’s Bay Rugby Union and the Hurricanes, the Super Rugby franchise for which Enari currently plays. Enari, who was born in Auckland and has lived in Palmerston North, has built a solid rugby career, establishing himself at St Kentigern College in Auckland before moving to Lincoln College in the South Island. His professional journey includes 40 matches for Canterbury in the National Provincial Championship (NPC) from 2016 to 2020, as well as nine Super Rugby appearances for the Crusaders between 2017 and 2021. He has also represented New Zealand Under-20, serving as vice-captain. Enari made his debut for the Magpies during a Ranfurly Shield match against Ngāti Porou East Coast in 2021. He remains eligible to play for the Hurricanes until the end of the current Super Rugby season next month.
