Bryce Heem (born 18 January 1989) is a New Zealand rugby union player who currently plays as a wing or centre for the Blues in Super Rugby.[2][3]

Club career

[edit]

Heem began his senior rugby career with his home province Auckland and made 3 appearances during the 2010 ITM Cup season before heading north to Whangārei to link up with Northland Taniwha as a loan player.[1] He spent 2 seasons with the Cambridge Blues and scored 5 tries in 15 appearances before heading down to the South Island to join the Tasman Mako in 2012.[2] He firmly established himself as a regular starter for the men from Nelson during their impressive 2013 and 2014 ITM Cup campaigns and this form saw him handed a Super Rugby contract with the Chiefs ahead of the 2015 Super Rugby season.[4]

On 8 April 2015, it was announced Heem would move to England to join Worcester Warriors in the Aviva Premiership from the 2015–16 season.[5] Heem marked his debut with a try in a victory over Newcastle Falcons in November 2015.

On the 18 November 2017, Heem scored a hat-trick of tries in Worcester's first win of the 2017-18 English Premiership season. The win against Northampton Saints (30-15) saw Worcester lifted from bottom of the table. A culmination of improved performances in two close losses against Harlequins, in the preceding weeks.[6]

Heem went on to play four seasons for Worcester Warriors, scoring 32 tries in 70 games.[7]

On 27 February 2019, French giants Toulon announced that they had signed Heem on a two-year deal, starting from the 2019–20 Top 14 season.[8] However, on 25 January 2021, the club granted him an early release from his contract to return to New Zealand for family reasons. He played 26 games and scored 6 tries for Toulon.[9]

He subsequently joined the Blues for the 2021 Super Rugby season.[10] He came off the bench in the Blues 41-10 win over the Chiefs in the 2024 Super Rugby Pacific Grand Final. It was the franchise's 4th Super Rugby title, and their first since 2003.

International career
