Billy-John Guyton (17 March 1990 – 15 May 2023) was a New Zealand rugby union player. He played at halfback for provincial side Tasman.[1] Guyton spent the previous three years playing for North Otago in the Heartland championship, making 29 appearances for the province. He then moved north to sign with the Tasman Mako ahead of 2013 season's ITM Cup.

Tasman

2013 saw Guyton establish himself as the starting halfback for Tasman as they went on to have a successful season and win the champion division in the ITM Cup, with a one-point win over Hawke's Bay 26–25. This saw Tasman Mako promoted to the Premiership Division of the ITM Cup.

Super Rugby

A strong season for the Tasman Mako saw Guyton sign with the Hurricanes for the 2014 super rugby season.

The 2014 super rugby season saw Guyton get very little game time for the Hurricanes. This saw Guyton initially released for the 2015 season, but a season-ending injury to Willi Heinz saw the Crusaders sign him as a replacement for the remainder of the 2015 super rugby season.[2]

After another season of little action as a member of the Crusaders, Guyton signed a contract with the Шаблон:Rut,[3] his 3rd super rugby team in as many years.

Māori All Blacks

In October 2016 Guyton, who affiliated with the Ngāpuhi, Ngāti Pikiao, and Ngāti Raukawa iwi, was named in the Māori All Blacks team for their end-of-year tour to the Northern Hemisphere.[4]

Guyton also played for the New Zealand Heartland XV at fullback and wing.

Death

Guyton died in Nelson on 15 May 2023, at the age of 33.[5]
