- 950
Promising lock Darcy Swain has signed a new one-year contract with the Brumbies that will keep him with the Canberra club for the duration of the 2019 Super Rugby season.
Swain, who was born in Queensland and attended Brisbane Boy’s College, made his Brumbies debut against the Jaguares at GIO Stadium this season when he replaced Rory Arnold in the 63rd minute to become Brumbies #208.
Swain made the move to Canberra in 2016 and made an immediate impression in the inaugural Super U20 competition with the Brumbies, before going on to link up with the Tuggeranong Vikings and putting in some impressive displays in the Griffin Legal John I Dent Cup.
Such was his form, he was selected to captain the Brumbies in the 2017 U20 competition and as subsequently to appear for Australia at the Junior World Cup in Georgia where he won two caps.
A mobile lock, who is at home in the loose and a strong ball carrier, Swain brings a physicality to the set-piece and is a dynamic presence in both the line-out and at scrum time.
