James Marshall returns to Hurricanes

Former Hurricanes utility back James Marshall is returning to the club for the 2019 Super Rugby season.

Marshall played the last of his 44 matches for the Hurricanes when the club won its first Super Rugby title in 2016 before he headed to the United Kingdom to link up with London Irish.

 
“James has a real ability to play a number of positions to a really high ability while he’s a great thinker and a really good communicator on the field,” John Plumtree said.

“The coaching group think he will be a really good asset next season. He will have no trouble fitting back into the squad.”

The 29-year-old joins loose forward Reed Prinsep and prop Alex Fidow in the Hurricanes 2019 playing squad.
