Ere Enari

Ere Enari (born 30 May 1997) is a New Zealand rugby union player who currently plays as a halfback for Canterbury in New Zealand's domestic Mitre 10 Cup.

Enari had something of a nomadic childhood, being born in Auckland, but growing up in Gisborne and Palmerston North. After school, he moved to New Zealand's South Island to attend Lincoln University where he played Hawkins Cup rugby and won the championship in 2016. During this time he also attended the Crusaders Academy.

Enari was first named in the Canterbury squad ahead of the 2016 Mitre 10 Cup. Initially, he was expected to be 3rd choice halfback for the defending champions, however, season-ending injuries to first-choice Mitchell Drummond and his replacement Alby Mathewson saw Enari thrust into the starting number 9 jersey. He made 9 appearances, 7 of them from the start, as Canterbury retained their Mitre 10 Cup Premiership title which was their eighth success in nine seasons.

Enari was a New Zealand Schoolboys representative in 2014 and also turned out for New Zealand Universities in 2015. He was involved with the New Zealand Under 20 team in 2016 where he worked with his future Canterbury head coach, Scott Robertson
