North Harbour is delighted to announce its wider Development Team, as it builds towards the Northern Regions competition later in August.

The team has 3 upcoming pre-season games where they will play Thames Valley, Auckland and the Waikato Harlequin,s before selecting a final group to compete in the Northern Regions competition. The side is comprised of a number of young and senior club and academy players who have competed across the range of North Harbour club competitions for 2024.

The Union is excited to see the development of younger players continue in its Development Team, alongside a number of players who are very close to contributing to the NPC Squad in 2024. As noted by Head Coach, Mike Noble, "there is a good blend of youth and experience for us to work with over the next 9 weeks, I can't wait to get going".
