Zach Fittler, the son of league legend Brad, has signed a two-year deal with the NSW Waratahs.
The Sydney Morning Herald reported that the strapping 18-year-old centre had signed an ‘elite development’ contract with the Super Rugby Pacific club after considering his future in both codes.
“Given Zach’s character, attitude and ability, we are very excited for him to continue developing in the NSW Waratahs pathways system for the next two years,” NSW Rugby talent identification manager Andrew Cleverley said.
Fittler, who weighs 105kg, has played rugby for Scots College’s first XV for the last three years as well as starring for the Waratahs, Roosters and Australia at age group level.
He hit the headlines in 2022 when he dominated Queensland at the national under-16 rugby championships.
