Kurtley Beale signs with the Waratahs

Kurtley Beale has signed with Australian Rugby, committing to a two-year deal with the ARU and NSW Waratahs until the end of 2019.

The 28-year old has returned to Australia following a season with Wasps in England, to re-unite with his Waratahs and Wallabies teammates. 

“It's great to be heading back to Australian Rugby. I'm really looking forward to getting back home to the NSW Waratahs but also hopefully pull on the gold jersey later this year as well,” 

“I think the best place for me and my rugby right now is in Australia and I love what Cheik (Michael Cheika) is doing with the Wallabies" Beale said.

Wallabies coach Michael Cheika said: “It's great for Australian Rugby that we have Kurtley coming back to play his footy on home soil.”

“Even though he's only been gone a year, it's a very different Wallabies team now but he will have an important role to play for Australia and the Waratahs as well.
