Connacht Rugby announce signing of out half David Horwitz

Connacht Rugby have announced the signing of 23-year-old out-half David Horwitz from Australian Super Rugby side the Rebels.

Horwitz has previously been capped at out-half for Australia at U20 level in 2014 and for the Australian School Boys in 2011 and 2012.

Commenting on Connacht’s latest signing CEO of Connacht Rugby Willie Ruane said: “We are excited to announce the signing of out-half David Horwitz from the Rebels. David is a quality out-half who has also built up considerable experience at centre. His Super Rugby credentials are obvious having featured heavily for the Warathas last season. He will be another strong addition to Connacht and we look forward to his arrival next season.”

Horwitz made the break through in Super Rugby with the Waratahs during the 2017 season when he started all but one of their games and brought his total Super Rugby caps tally to 21 in the process. In addition to his experience as an out-half Horwitz has also played at inside centre where he has generally been deployed as a first receiver.
