Early career

Strange was raised in the rural community of Collingwood and attended high school at Nelson College during which time he captained their rugby first XV.[1][3]

Senior career

He was named in the Tasman Makos squad for the 2016 Mitre 10 Cup aged just 19 and instantly established himself as a first-team regular, making 11 appearances, 10 of which were from the start and bagging 2 tries as the Nelson-based outfit finished runners up in that season's Premiership. In 2019 against the defending Champs Auckland Strange Co-Captained the team with Mitch Hunt.[4]

Super Rugby

After just one season and 11 appearances at provincial level, he was handed a Super Rugby contract by the Crusaders ahead of the 2017 Super Rugby season. The move would seem him link up with his former New Zealand Under-20 coach Scott Robertson who was in his debut season with the Crusaders having formerly coached Canterbury.[1]

International

Strange was a member of the New Zealand Under 20 side which competed in the 2016 World Rugby Under 20 Championship in England where he made 5 appearances and scored 2 tries.[4][5]
