'Special' fly-half quits English giants to sign for Welsh region as destination finally confirmed

The Ospreys have completed a deal to sign talented fly-half Jack Walsh from Exeter Chiefs.

America-born, the 22-year-old has penned a two-year contract with the Swansea.com Stadium team and will arrive in the summer. A playmaker who has represented Australia at Sevens and featured for their U18s team, Walsh can play at full-back as well as No. 10 and is a graduate of the New South Wales Waratahs Academy. He played for Manly Marlins before heading overseas in 2020.

He has since made eight appearances for Exeter, whose director of rugby Rob Baxter has said of him: “You watch him and you can see there is something there about him. There’s a bit of spark, something special." Baxter had confirmed back in March that Walsh was on his way to Wales but his destination was still to be confirmed at that point.
