The Western Force have secured the services of promising scrum-half Henry Robertson for the long term, with the 23-year-old Wallabies hopeful signing a new contract that will keep him at the club until the end of the 2028 season.
Robertson's Rise Through the Ranks
Robertson, who made his Super Rugby Pacific debut for the Force in 2023, has quickly established himself as one of the most exciting young halfbacks in Australian rugby. His quick service, sharp decision-making, and tenacious defence have drawn comparisons to some of the game's greats.
The re-signing comes as a major boost for the Force, who are building a squad capable of challenging for silverware in the coming years. Robertson's commitment to the club signals his belief in the direction the team is heading under head coach Simon Cron.
Aiming for Wallabies Selection
With the Rugby World Cup on the horizon, Robertson has his sights set on breaking into the Wallabies squad. His consistent performances for the Force have not gone unnoticed by national selectors, and he is widely regarded as a future Test player.
"I'm thrilled to be staying with the Force," Robertson said. "This club has given me so much, and I believe we have something special building here. My goal is to help the team succeed and to earn a Wallabies jersey."
Key Addition to Force's Core
The Force have been active in retaining their young talent, with Robertson joining a list of key players who have committed to the club long-term. His re-signing ensures stability in the halves and provides a strong foundation for the team's future.
Coach Simon Cron praised Robertson's development and leadership. "Henry has grown immensely since joining us. He's a talented player with a great work ethic, and we're excited to see him continue to develop here," Cron said.
Robertson's new deal is a statement of intent from the Force, who are determined to climb the Super Rugby Pacific standings and become a force to be reckoned with.
