Alaalatoa signs five-year deal

Sydney – Wallabies prop Allan Alaalatoa has re-signed with the Brumbies on a five-year contract, Rugby Australia said yesterday, ensuring he is available for his state side and the Wallabies for the next two World Cup tournaments.

The 24-year-old tighthead and son of a former Samoan international, will remain in Canberra until the end of 2023, Rugby Australia said.

“The four-year extension for the 24-year old prop forward is just reward for an impressive season at both Super Rugby level and for the Wallabies,” the governing body said.

Alaalatoa joined the Brumbies at age 19, and has locked down a starting birth for Australia amid fierce competition from veteran prop Sekope Kepu. –
