Senior career

Born and raised in Napier, Makene attended and played rugby for Napier Boys' High School, captaining their first XV in 2014. After graduating high school, he headed south to attend Lincoln University in Christchurch and study environmental planning and management. While there he was signed up by the Crusaders Academy and after 2 years in the Crusaders and Canterbury rugby structures, he was loaned to the Tasman Makos for the 2016 Mitre 10 Cup. 2 tries in 9 appearances for the Makos helped them reach the final of the 2016 Premiership where ironically they were defeated by Makene's parent province, Canterbury.[2][3]

International

Makene was a member of the New Zealand Under 20 side which competed in the 2016 World Rugby Under 20 Championship in England, making 4 appearances and scoring 5 tries.[2][4]
