Culum Retallick (born 8 May 1985 in Rangiora, New Zealand) is a professional rugby union player who plays for the Highlanders in Super Rugby and represents Bay of Plenty in the ITM Cup.

Playing career

Provincial Rugby

Retallick came up through the Canterbury system but, unable to crack a deep provincial squad, moved north to sign with Bay of Plenty for the 2007 Air New Zealand Cup.^[1] He made 7 starts in his debut season and by 2008 was a fixture in the starting lineup.

He made his 50th appearance for the province in a victory over Counties Manukau during the opening round of the 2011 ITM Cup on 17 July 2011.

Super Rugby

Retallick earned a contract with the Chiefs for the 2010 Super 14 season, and turned in an excellent debut campaign, appearing in all 13 games for the franchise including 10 starts. In 2011, however, he struggled to get playing time and was limited to 7 appearances, all as a substitute.

For the 2012 season, Retallick was signed by the Highlanders.
