BIOGRAPHY

Born in Scotland, Christie moved to New Zealand aged seven and attended St Kentigern’s College in Auckland before heading to Canterbury to study.

He made his provincial debut for Tasman in 2016 and his eye-catching form saw him offered a Chiefs contract in 2017.  He played one season for the Chiefs before becoming a key player in Tasman’s run to the Mitre 10 Cup Premiership Final in 2017.  He played for the Hurricanes in 2018-2019 and then moved home to the Blues for the 2020 season. Christie is also a former New Zealand gymnastics representative. Christie had a breakout season for the Blues in their triumphant 2021 season and was rewarded with selection in the All Blacks. 

He made his Test debut against Tonga at Mt Smart Stadium in 2021.
