Jordan Matthew Barrett (born 17 February 1997) is a New Zealand rugby union player who currently plays as a utility back internationally for New Zealand's All Blacks, and for the Hurricanes in the Super Rugby competition.[2] Having previously been an apprentice for the All Black squad in 2016, Barrett was first selected for New Zealand in 2017, making his debut against Samoa in a warm-up test prior to the British & Irish Lions series.
Barrett has previously represented New Zealand at age-grade level, being a part of the 2016 under-20 side that took part at the World Championships in England. He also represents Taranaki at provincial level, previously playing for Canterbury during their 2016 Ranfurly Shield tenure, as they became Mitre 10 Cup champions.[3]
The Barrett family have strong family connections with County Meath in Leinster, Ireland where they spent some time in the early 2000s when the family relocated to Oldcastle. At that time the Barrett brothers played Gaelic football for their school and local club.
He was the winner of the Duane Monkley Medal for the Mitre 10 Cup Player of the Year in 2016, and was also New Zealand's age-grade player of the year that year. He was named Taranaki Sportsperson of the Year at the Taranaki Sports Awards in 2017.[4]
