"I have been very fortunate to play rugby professionally for as long as I have. I have had so many great moments playing and a lot of them have been in a Chiefs jersey. It is a very special team that I feel very passionate about and I am thankful for the opportunity to represent the club.
"It has been an absolute privilege to pull on the jersey so thank you to all those involved and for the memories it has brought me."
Gallagher Chiefs head coach Warren Gatland said it was a fantastic achievement and congratulated Cruden on his impending milestone.
"Aaron is an exceptional player, a great leader and a proud Chiefs man. He has been an influential contributor to this team both on and off the park this year and most importantly a great mentor for a number of these young players," Gatland said.
It will be a very special moment for Aaron and the team on Saturday and it is fitting he is able to celebrate this milestone at FMG Stadium Waikato in front of a home crowd. He has been a privilege to coach this year."
Cruden has been named to start for the Gallagher Chiefs when they take on the Crusaders at FMG Stadium Waikato on Saturday evening.
