\npreviously spent three seasons with the NSW Waratahs, notching up 20 caps and
\nthree tries after scoring on his Super Rugby debut in 2020.<\/p>\n
The 191cm utility also played for the Junior Wallabies at
\nthe 2018 World Rugby Under-20s Championship.<\/p>\n
He is the latest Australian playing overseas who the
\nForce has lured back home, following on from Nic Dolly, Nick Champion de
\nCrespigny, Brandon Paenga-Amosa, Carlo Tizzano and Harry Potter.<\/p>\n
Force head coach Simon Cron said: \u201cOne of the areas for
\nus to continue to grow our positional depth is in our back three. The fact they
\nare explosive athletes means it\u2019s a position you need coverage.<\/p>\n
“We have some great back three players but still
\nneed to add as we know backline depth is so important.<\/p>\n
\u201cJames has aspirations to play for Australia and he wants
\nto come home. Having known him before he left overseas, I was able to see his
\ncommitment to his craft, he will fit in at the Force seamlessly.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe is tall, athletic, good in the air and brings speed
\nand flair, so we think he\u2019ll be a good fit. He\u2019s really motivated, so we\u2019re
\nexcited to bring him back to Australia.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ramm said he was excited to join the Force later in the
\nyear, drawn to the Club by what it’s building.<\/p>\n
“I\u2019m extremely excited to be joining the Force next
\nseason and relocating to Perth with my wife, Ally,” Ramm said.<\/p>\n
“After talking to many of the boys and staff
\ncurrently at the club, it is clear that there is a strong culture, a drive for
\nsuccess and a genuine belief in what this group can achieve.\u00a0The
\nopportunity to play a role in what the club is building is something that
\nreally excites me.<\/p>\n
“The prospect of a home Rugby World Cup is
\nincredibly motivating. Representing your country on home soil in front of
\nfamily and friends, in my eyes, is the pinnacle of any Aussie rugby players
\ncareer. But I know that selection starts with consistent performances at Super
\nRugby level, and that\u2019s where my full attention will be.<\/p>\n
“My immediate focus will be on contributing to a
\nstrong Super Rugby campaign and doing everything I can to help the team
\nsucceed.”<\/p>\n
Reflecting on his time at Northampton, Ramm added:
\n“My time at the Saints has been pivotal in my development, both as a
\nplayer and as a man. I\u2019ve been fortunate to experience different coaching
\nphilosophies and styles of play, whilst earning the opportunity to take part in
\nsome of the biggest matches in the northern hemisphere.<\/p>\n
“That exposure has broadened my understanding of the
\ngame and I feel like I\u2019m returning to Australia more complete, with valuable
\nexperience that I\u2019m eager to contribute to the Force environment.”<\/p>\n
