The All Blacks halfback Cam Roigard has re-signed with the Hurricanes on a three year deal taking him through until the end of 2027.

Roigard, 22, is currently in France at the World Cup having only made test debut against Australia in July.

Roigard said recommitting to the Hurricanes was a "no brainer".

"I've never wanted to play anywhere else. The club gave me my first opportunity at Super Rugby, and I saw this is an opportunity to repay them for opening that door."

New Hurricanes head coach Clark Laidlaw said "having someone of his calibre sign a long-term deal shows how much we think of him and how much NZ Rugby think of his future.

"To win big competitions you need world-class players in key positions, and halfback is obviously a key position."
