Before playing professional rugby Newby was in the same school year as Francis Sucgang.

He made three appearances for New Zealand before moving to England in 2008 to play for Leicester Tigers.[2] At the end of his first season at Leicester he helped them defeat London Irish to win the Premiership final.
