An elusive fullback who has played for the New Zealand Under-21s and Schools sevens teams, Jared Payne made his Crusaders debut in 2009. Payne has represented Waikato and was a member of the Chiefs squad for the 2007 season, where he played four games off the bench. He had an outstanding start to the 2009 Super 14 and was arguably the Crusaders most dangerous back but an ankle injury sidelined him until the latter part of the season. Payne was the Northland captain in 2009.
