Loose forward Liam Squire has re-signed with the Highlanders and New Zealand Rugby for two more years.
The 26 year-old moved from the Chiefs to the Highlanders in 2016 which earned the attention of the All Blacks selectors during his first season with the southern side.
Squire made his All Blacks debut against Wales in Dunedin in 2016 and has gone on to play seven more tests.
The Highlanders play Japan's Sunwolves in Invercargill on Saturday.
