Five-times capped Wallaby centre Josh Flook<\/a> has signed for Benetton<\/a> Rugby on a one-year deal, with the option of extending his stay in Treviso through to 2028.<\/p>\n The 24-year-old, who was last capped against Japan<\/a> in October 2025, has nearly six years of senior rugby under his belt, having made his debut for the Queensland Reds<\/a> against Melbourne Rebels<\/a> in 2020, aged just 18.<\/p>\n Strong on both sides of the ball, Randwick-born Flook joins Maori All Blacks<\/a> and Hurricanes<\/a> enforcer, Isaia Walker-Leawere<\/a>, in swapping Super Rugby Pacific<\/a> for the URC.<\/p>\n \u201cJosh Flook is an internationally renowned player who has already proven his worth both in Super Rugby and with the Wallabies,\u201d said Benetton President Antonio Pavanello.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re 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.<\/p>\n \u201cThe 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.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re confident that Josh can make a significant impact in that position and help maintain our team\u2019s high level of competitiveness.\u201d<\/p>\n Flook, who has played over 50 games for the Reds, said:\u00a0\u201cI\u2019m incredibly excited about the opportunity to join Benetton Rugby. I\u2019ve been following the club and Italian rugby closely over the past year, and what\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n \u201cBenetton plays a very exciting attacking game, which is exactly the kind of game that appeals to me, and I can\u2019t wait to be part of this environment and contribute to what the team is building.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"mens united-rugby-championship TOKYO, JAPAN – OCTOBER 25: Josh Flook of Australia makes a break to score the team’s…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":546244,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[567],"tags":[64,63,760,85],"class_list":["post-546243","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-rugby","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-rugby","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/546243","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=546243"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/546243\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/546244"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=546243"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=546243"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=546243"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
