WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) — New Zealand fullback Will Jordan will miss all of Super Rugby Pacific and mid-year tests against England and Fiji because of a shoulder injury.
Jordan’s Super Rugby club the Crusaders announced on Tuesday that Jordan shortly will undergo surgery for a long-standing injury.
“Will Jordan has recently been under conservative management due to a pre-existing shoulder injury from the 2023 season,” the club said in a statement.
“After assessment from the Crusaders medical team he will undergo surgery and as a result be unavailable for selection during the 2024 Super Rugby Pacific season. He is expected to be fit to return to play in approximately six months.”
The 24-year-old Jordan has 31 tries in 31 tests for New Zealand.
