Kade Banks is an exciting young talent who brings genuine pace, flair, and an attacking mindset to the Blues backline.
A naturally elusive runner, Banks has the rare ability to accelerate through contact and turn defensive lines with minimal space. His footwork and instinctive reading of broken play make him a constant threat whenever the ball is kicked his way.
Off the ball, Banks continues to develop a strong aerial presence, showing composure under pressure. His defensive work rate, particularly his tracking lines and scramble coverage, highlights his growing tactical maturity.
Banks embodies the Blues’ ambition to play fast, hard-nosed rugby, offering spark, unpredictability, and a willingness to back himself in big moments.
