David Pocock signs a three year deal
Wallabies and Brumbies player, David Pocock, has signed a three year
deal with Top League team, the Panasonic Wild Knights, which will
see him play for the Ōta, Japan-based team for three seasons. Pocock
will begin duties with the Top League team in Japan following the end of the Wallabies spring tour in December 2016.
Pocock says, “I’m excited about playing for a club like the Panasonic Wild Knights. They have a proud history with a great playing group. I’m really looking forward to working with (head coach) Robbie Deans."
“I really appreciate the opportunity the ARU have offered me to stay in the Australian rugby union set up. My goal is to continue to improve and be at my best in 2019.”
From February 2017, Pocock will take six months away from the game, pursuing study and interests outside of rugby, before returning to the Panasonic Wild Knights in mid-August 2017.
David Pocock remains firmly committed to Australian rugby for the next three years and will return to the Brumbies in March 2018.
