Corey Kellow is an all-round athlete whose skills go beyond the rugby field. As well as playing in the New Zealand Schools rugby team, Corey was part of the Sacred Heart College Water Polo team which won the North Island Senior Schools Championship in 2019. He then went on to be the vice-captain of the New Zealand Secondary Schools Water Polo team, as well as competing at a national level in athletics.

Corey was selected for the Crusaders Under 20 Squad in 2021 before making his debut for the Canterbury provincial side later that year against Auckland and scoring a try off the bench. He became Crusader #255 in 2022. 

In 2024, Corey played two games for the All Blacks XV, winning against Georgia and Munster.

When he’s not honing his rugby skills, Corey loves to surf and wakeboard. He recently graduated from Lincoln University with a Commerce Degree majoring in Property.
