The Chiefs centre Charlie Ngatai has re-signed with the back-to-back Super Rugby champions for the next two seasons.
The former national age grade sprint champion has played 19 matches for the Chiefs.
The 23-year old, who has recently signed with Taranaki for the domestic competition, says he jumped at the chance to stay in Chiefs country.
Ngatai is a Maori All Black, former New Zealand U20's and New Zealand School representative who has also played for the Hurricanes and Wellington in the ITM Cup.
