Biography
Josh Bekhuis is now one of the most senior players in the Highlanders’ tight five. With 71 Super Rugby caps to his name, Bekhuis will be looking to build on the consistent form that has made him the first choice locking option in the club’s engine room. A specialist lineout option, Bekhuis is also developing his running game which will keep opposition defences on their toes during the 2014 season.
He played 14 games and made 134 tackles last season, behind only Brad Thorn (150) and Josh Hardie (147) in the team.
