Jake Gordon re-signs with Rugby Australia and Waratahs

Scrumhalf Jake Gordon has inked a new two-year extension to re-sign with Rugby Australia and New South Wales Waratahs until the end of 2021.

 
The 25-year old made his Wallabies debut against Italy in Padova on last year’s Spring Tour after a standout Vodafone Super Rugby season for the Waratahs.

 
A tall halfback, Gordon’s consistent threat around the ruck has earned him several honours already, including the 2016 National Rugby Championship Player’s Player after he finished the season as the joint leading try-scorer.

Wallabies coach Michael Cheika said: “Jake has been around the squad for a couple of seasons now and has shown us that he’s ready to step up to Test standard on a consistent basis.
 
“Halfback is a very competitive position in our squad but he knows what he needs to do in order to be selected week after week.
 
“Re-signing with the Waratahs is a clear indication to me that he’s committed to becoming a Test match regular and I’m looking forward to watching his performances, in games and training, back that up”, Cheika said.
