Fitzpatrick signs Waratahs deal

Hooker Damien Fitzpatrick has signed a two-year contract with the Waratahs from Lyon in the Top14.

“Damien returns from France a much improved player,” Waratahs Head Coach, Daryl Gibson said.

“His return increases competition for the hooking spot next season, which will challenge all three players to new heights.”

Fitzpatrick represented NSW at the Australia Schools Championships, before taking up the opportunity to lead his country as Captain of the Australian Schoolboys in an undefeated campaign in 2008 against England, Samoa and New Zealand.
