Kerevi signs new Reds and Australia deal

Wallabies centre Samu Kerevi has re-committed to Rugby Australia and the Queensland Rugby Union (QRU) until the end of 2019.
 

The 24-year old is currently sidelined with a bicep injury after cementing his spot in the starting fifteen during the Wallabies' Ireland Series in June.

 
Kerevi has scored five tries from his 21 Test appearances after making his Wallabies debut against England at Suncorp Stadium in 2016.

 
Wallabies centre Samu Kerevi said: “I'm excited to stay in Queensland for one more year, my family was a big factor in staying.

"The young boys coming through the club is what keeps me at the Reds. I see the potential - not long ago I was in their shoes so to have one more year with them will be special.

“The World Cup is next year and that’s pretty special for any Rugby player. It's the biggest stage in World Rugby and that was another driver for me.

"First thing is first and that’s getting back to fitness and playing well for my club and hopefully being picked to represent Australia through the year and into the World Cup.

"Right now my goal is to hopefully make the back-end of the NRC, or even the Club Sevens Series but that all depends on how my rehab goes," Kerevi said.
 

Kerevi is fighting to be fit in time for the Wallabies November Test against Wales, Italy and England.
