He helped his team to two National Top 4 finals, narrowly losing the first against Mount Albert Grammar School (13 - 14) in 2016, but winning the second against Hamilton Boys' High School 25 to 17 after an undefeated season in 2017. He was the captain of both teams in 2016/2017.

Kereru-Symes made his Magpies National Provincial Championship debut against Bay of Plenty in Napier (August 2018) and still remains with the side currently.

International Career
In 2019, Kereru-Symes was selected for the side which competed in the Oceania Rugby Under 20 Championship and the World Rugby Under 20 Championship (Argentina). He was named captain of the team for both tournaments.
