Waratahs secure Angus Scott-Young on two-year deal

The NSW Waratahs have formally signed Australian loose forward Angus Scott-Young on a two-year contract, the club announced today.

The 28-year-old will return to Australia after his stint with Northampton Saints and join the Waratahs ahead of the 2026 Super Rugby season, beginning pre-season training next month at Daceyville.

Scott-Young, son of former Wallaby Sam Scott-Young, previously made over 60 appearances for the Queensland Reds before moving to Northampton in 2022.

During his time in England, he helped the Saints win the Premiership title in 2024 and featured in the European Rugby Champions Cup Final.

Scott-Young said he was “excited to be back in Australia and playing Super Rugby” and hopes to contribute to the Waratahs’ resurgence and his own ambition to regain Wallabies selection ahead of the 2027 home Rugby World Cup.

"I'm really excited to be back in Australia and playing Super Rugby again.

"It's such a fast, dynamic competition, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to represent the Waratahs. The club has a proud history and passionate supporters, so I'm looking forward to contributing and being part of something special.

"There's a lot to be excited about with this group at the Waratahs. The squad is full of talented players with huge potential and the coaching setup under Dan McKellar and Lachlan McCaffrey is world-class".
