James Tuttle re-signs with Reds for 2019 season

Queensland Reds scrumhalf James Tuttle has put pen to paper on a new deal which will see him remain at Ballymore through 2019.

Tuttle has started the first two games of the current Super Rugby season for the Reds, kicking three of the side’s six penalty goals in their win over the Brumbies at Suncorp Stadium last Friday.

On the signing, Reds head coach Brad Thorn said: “I’ve worked with James for a few seasons now with the Under 20s, Queensland Country and the Reds. He’s an honest, hard working guy who is super competitive and cares about this place.
 
“He’s still quite young, but he has a senior role in the team so it is great to see him commit to Ballymore for another season as we continue to build.”

Born and raised in Brisbane and schooled at St. Joseph’s Nudgee College, the 21-year-old last year established himself as the Reds’ starting scrumhalf before going on to help Bond University Queensland Country to its first National Rugby Championship title, while also leading the competition for points scoring.
