Queensland Reds have confirmed that co-captain Liam Wright has signed a new deal through 2024 season.
Wright started his debut with Queensland County in 2016 with his Super Rugby debut for Reds coming in 2018. He has gone on to make 58 appearances for the club and also captained them in 27 games.
“I am very proud to be re-signing with the Reds for the next two seasons," he told the club's official website.
“The thrill and honour of wearing the Queensland jersey drives me immensely, and injuries over the past two seasons have only made that desire grow.
“I am looking forward to continuing the journey we as players, staff and Queenslanders have undertaken to improve this great club.
“I would like to thank our supporters, Brad, Sam and all the Reds for their support. I’m excited for what’s ahead.”
The 24-year-old was also part of Brad Thorn’s title-winning Queensland U20s sides in 2016 and 2017 and was handed the captaincy in 2020 and led Queensland to the Super Rugby AU final the same year.
"Liam's an important part of the Queensland Reds, his instinct has always been to put the club first," said General Manager of Professional Rugby Sam Cordingley.
"Whilst his focus is very much on Queensland and national selection, Liam has earned the flexibility to explore playing opportunities abroad within this contract term.
"It's great news for the Reds to have Liam committed to our 2023 and 2024 seasons."
