Rugby Australia and the Brumbies have locked in Tom Wright on a three-year deal, with the star fullback resisting offers to play overseas.
Wright will be a part of the Wallabies' push towards the home Rugby World Cup in 2027, following his surprise omission from the Australian squad at the last tournament in France.
Making his Test debut in 2020, Wright has played 37 Tests and nailed down the fullback jersey last year, starting in 12 matches.
The Sydneysider, who had a brief stint with Manly in the NRL, first turned out for the Brumbies in Super Rugby in 2019 and has become a regular member of their match-day line-up.
Wright, 27, said he was happy to remain in Canberra.
"I'm extremely happy to have my long-term future secured here in Australia and with the Brumbies in Canberra," he said in a statement."As a kid all I ever dreamed of was representing the Wallabies and with the milestones coming up over the next few years there's nowhere else I'd rather be playing my rugby."I feel I've got a lot of growth still in me as a player and I'll be continuing to work hard to hopefully contribute to success with the Brumbies and the Wallabies."
Brumbies coach Stephen Larkham said it was a boost to have Wright sign a contract extension, with the fullback a key member of their side who are currently second on the Super Rugby Pacific ladder."Tom has been one of our stand-out players for the last couple of seasons," Larkham said."He is a big part of this club and brings with him a huge amount of leadership on and off the field. It's wonderful news to have him re-sign with the Brumbies for another three years."
