Wallaby centre Josh Flook adds more Super Rugby experience to URC club

Five-times capped Wallaby centre Josh Flook has signed for Benetton Rugby on a one-year deal, with the option of extending his stay in Treviso through to 2028.

The 24-year-old, who was last capped against Japan in October 2025, has nearly six years of senior rugby under his belt, having made his debut for the Queensland Reds against Melbourne Rebels in 2020, aged just 18.

Strong on both sides of the ball, Randwick-born Flook joins Maori All Blacks and Hurricanes enforcer, Isaia Walker-Leawere, in swapping Super Rugby Pacific for the URC.

“Josh Flook is an internationally renowned player who has already proven his worth both in Super Rugby and with the Wallabies,” said Benetton President Antonio Pavanello.

“We’re delighted to have brought him to Treviso because he represents a highly skilled player with excellent game reading, defensive solidity, and a strong attacking presence.

“The centre position is particularly important, so we wanted to add a player with these characteristics to our squad, capable of ensuring quality, reliability, and international experience.

“We’re confident that Josh can make a significant impact in that position and help maintain our team’s high level of competitiveness.”

Flook, who has played over 50 games for the Reds, said: “I’m incredibly excited about the opportunity to join Benetton Rugby. I’ve been following the club and Italian rugby closely over the past year, and what’s struck me most is the passion they play with and the love their fans have for the game. It reminds me a lot of Queensland and how deeply rugby is loved there.

“Benetton plays a very exciting attacking game, which is exactly the kind of game that appeals to me, and I can’t wait to be part of this environment and contribute to what the team is building.”
