Overview
- Multiple outlets report Jorgensen has agreed to stay with Rugby Australia and the Waratahs until the end of 2031, with a formal announcement expected later this week.
- Informed sources say the deal is worth more than A$900,000 per season with potential to exceed A$1 million.
- The contract reportedly includes a clause allowing two seasons as an overseas sabbatical during the term.
- The agreement fends off renewed interest from the Sydney Roosters and ends speculation linking Jorgensen to the proposed R360 competition, now postponed until 2028.
- The move follows Rugby Australia’s signing of Angus Crichton and aligns with chief executive Phil Waugh’s commitment to securing what he has called generational talent.
