“I have been playing Super Rugby here in Perth since 2020 when Force came back in.
“I have really enjoyed my time here with Force but I have always wanted to play in the Gallagher Premiership. I feel like it’s a really good competition and another step in my career that I want to take.
“It’s the chance for me to experience something different.”
