Chayse Geros Signs Through 2029 In Hybrid Brumbies-Sevens Deal

The ACT Brumbies and the Australian Men’s Sevens have secured one of Australian rugby’s most promising young backs, with Chayse Geros signing a unique hybrid agreement that will see him remain in the Brumbies system through to the end of the 2029 season.

The 19-year-old will join the Australian Men’s Sevens program full-time in 2027 before splitting his time between Sevens and the Brumbies in 2028, ahead of a full-time return to the Brumbies in 2029.

The innovative arrangement provides Geros with a clear pathway across both codes of the game, while creating the opportunity for him to push his claims for selection in the Australian Men’s Sevens team for their world series and for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic Games.

For the Brumbies, the agreement secures the long-term future of one of the most promising young players to emerge from the club’s pathway in recent years.

Chayse Geros said:

“I’m really excited about what’s ahead and grateful to both the Brumbies and Australian Sevens for putting this opportunity together,” Geros said.

“Having spent time training with the Brumbies top squad this year, I’ve seen the level required to play Super Rugby and it’s something I’m really motivated to work towards.

“The opportunity to develop my game in Sevens, push for an Olympic campaign and continue to be part of the Brumbies program is something I’m really looking forward to. It’s a great pathway for me, and I’m excited to keep developing and hopefully make a big impact in both formats over the next few years.”

At just 19, Geros has emerged as one of Australian rugby’s most promising young backs, with the versatility to play anywhere from halfback to fullback. The St Augustine’s graduate and former Canterbury Bulldogs SG Ball player announced himself on the national pathway with the Australian Schoolboys in 2025, earning Player of the Final honours before progressing to the Australian U18s and impressing at the Global Youth Sevens.

His rise continued in 2026, starring in three matches for the Australian Under 20s, starting at fullback and scoring one try before a tournament-ending injury cruelly cut short his World Rugby U20 Championship campaign.

For Brumbies Head Coach Stephen Larkham, the deal represents an opportunity to develop a player with the attributes required to succeed at the highest level.

Stephen Larkham — ACT Brumbies Head Coach:

“Chayse is a really exciting young player and someone we believe has a big future in Australian rugby.

“What stands out is his versatility. He has the skillset and rugby understanding to play anywhere from nine through to 15, and that gives us a lot of flexibility as he develops.

“We’re also really supportive of the opportunity for Chayse to spend time in the Australian Sevens program. It’s a great environment for him to develop his speed, decision-making and ability to play in space, and the Olympic opportunity makes it a really exciting pathway.

“Our job is to help Chayse become the best player he can be, and we think this model gives him a really strong platform to do that. We’re delighted to have him committed to the Brumbies through 2029.”

For Geros, the next three years will provide a unique opportunity to develop across both formats, with a potential pathway to the 2028 Olympic Games, before returning to Canberra as a full-time Brumby in 2029.

Australian Men’s Sevens Head Coach Liam Barry said the hybrid arrangement would give Geros the opportunity to develop a different dimension to his game while remaining connected to the Brumbies pathway.

Liam Barry — Australian Men’s Sevens Head Coach:

“We’re really excited to welcome Chayse Geros to the program. Chayse has come through the World Schools Sevens pathway and also Under 20s. It will be great to watch him play at this next level,” Barry said.

“The squad has had a good few weeks in preparation and we are looking forward to our first tournaments in Dubai and Cape Town. The 26/27 season has the added factor of Olympic qualification so we are aware of the importance of getting a good start.”

With his future secured through 2029, Geros will look to continue his development across both formats of the code before returning to the Brumbies full-time in 2029.
