Centre Braydon Ennor has extended his Super Rugby Pacific contract with the champion Crusaders for another season.
The 76-game veteran, who has played nine tests for the All Blacks, has had an injury-plagued career but has still managed to score 26 tries for the franchise during a golden era of Crusaders success.

Ennor said his contract extension was an easy decision to make, having completed 10 years living in Christchurch.
"I moved down here when I was 18, straight out of school. I've done all my growing as a man here. This is home for me now. I love turning up to Rugby Park every day and going to work."
Ennor, who shared New Zealand Under-20s world championship success in 2017, has completed eight seasons with the Crusaders.
"It does go quickly because it's so enjoyable. "I came down for the Academy first. It was pretty intimidating. I didn't know anyone down here. It was a decision to come down here for the city, the university and the rugby. I wasn't signed until I was 19."
After attending St Kentigern College, he moved south in 2015 and made his provincial debut with Canterbury in 2017 and became a Crusader in 2018.
The signing concludes a big week for the Crusaders, with All Blacks prop Fletcher Newell re-signed and head coach Rob Penney committing to another season in Christchurch.
