Former Rebels and Chiefs playmaker links up with Brumbies

Jack Debreczeni will rejoin Super Rugby after the playmaker signed with the Brumbies for the 2023 season.

Debreczeni, who started his career with the Melbourne Rebels before a stint with the Chiefs, will link up with incoming coach Stephen Larkham.

The 29-year-old clocked up 61 caps before switching to the Hino Red Dolphins in Japan’s Top League.

Known for his big boot, he has most recently been playing for West Harbour in Sydney’s Shute Shield.

“It’s great to be back in Super Rugby and to be joining an awesome club like the Brumbies,” Debreczeni said in a statement on Tuesday.

“Working with Steve is obviously an amazing opportunity and I’m looking forward to seeing how I can learn from and contribute to the team with guys like Noah, Nic White there as well.”

Larkham said Debreczeni would bring experience and depth to the Brumbies.

“Jack’s been a professional for a long time, knows what’s required at this level and he’s keen to continue to develop and soak up everything the Brumbies have to offer,” Larkham said.

“Depth is critical in the modern game and Jack will be a great addition to the group.”
