Queensland Reds co-captain Liam Wright signs new contract

Queensland Reds have confirmed that co-captain Liam Wright has signed a new deal with the Super Rugby club.

He now joins the likes of Hunter Paisami, Josh Flook, Ryan Smith and Jock Campbell in players extending his stay with the club.

Wright made his professional rugby debut with provincial side Queensland Country in 2016 and went on to make his Super Rugby debut with Reds in 2018.

The 26-year-old has overall made 84 Super Rugby games for Reds and captained them in 2020 at the age of 22. He then captained Australia in July and has six Test caps to his name.

"I always feel incredible pride in the Queensland jersey, due to our fantastic fans and the role being a Queenslander has played in my life,” Wright told the club's official website.

“There is plenty more I want to achieve here alongside this great squad and staff, both as an individual and as a team.

“I believe that Les (Kiss), Fish (Jonathan Fisher), Choc (Zane Hilton) and Brad (Davis) will continue to challenge me and help me evolve and grow as a player, which I really enjoyed over the past year.

"There’s nowhere else I want to be playing and it’s exciting to have my future locked in.”
