Charlie Heller is a passionate, dedicated rugby player with a strong commitment to continuous improvement both on and off the field. He has benefited from remarkable
opportunities provided by experienced coaches, which have shaped him into the player he is today.
Heller attended Kings High School in Dunedin, where he served as 1st XV captain, a role he has held for two years of his three-year tenure with the team. Through these experiences, he earned selection with Otago Metro’s U16, U17, and U18 teams. As captain of both teams, he led them to their first South Island title in a decade.
