Wallabies skipper Wilson extends Reds deal till 2029
Wallabies skipper Harry Wilson has signed a contract extension with Rugby Australia and the Queensland Reds until 2029, declaring: "This is the only place I want to be."
The 25-year-old backrower had a breakout season in 2024, bursting into the Australia team and being named captain, leading the side in seven of their last eight Tests.
"I want to give the best years of my rugby career to being part of success in the Reds and the gold jersey," he said late Thursday.
"I didn't speak to another club. I didn't want to be a Wallabies captain shopping himself around the world.
"I'm the current Wallabies captain. Who am I to tell others to stay in Australia if I'm not signed, sealed and delivered myself?"
Rugby Australia's high performance director Peter Horne said Wilson had emerged as "an astute leader and a great asset for the Wallabies and Reds".
"Harry's re-commitment to Australian Rugby is a positive development for the game as we head into an extraordinary runway of events, headlined by the British and Irish Lions tour this year and a home Rugby World Cup in 2027," he said.
"At just 25, Harry has many years of great rugby ahead of him and we are delighted his growth trajectory will continue with the Wallabies and Reds."
