Biography
Lentjes joined the Highlanders early in the 2015 campaign after a number of loose forward injuries meant he was called up from ITM cup level. A mobile loose forward, Lentjes gets around the park well and is a strong runner with ball in hand.
Lentjes had an unfortunate 2018 season due to injury and only returned for the final few rounds of the competition and the quarterfinal against the Waratahs. After a strong second half in the Mitre 10 Championship he is in good shape to have a significant impact in 2019.
